Thanks Franz! I really appreciate this rapid fix, as the problem was
halting my development work on my machine. I can confirm that your fix
corrects the testcase on my machine. (Also, the original program in which
I found the bug now works, too.)
I urge the gcc maintainers to include this patch (or something derived
from it) into future gcc releases.
Cordially,
