Yet, later, you followed up one of my "tirades" offering your own
opinions. I guess it's okay if I don't respond to that?
Be aware that __builtin_return_address probably will stop working
someday in gcc. Read my latest tirade to get an idea of why that is.

Do you have any bounced email to forward along, so I can see what
was actually happening? That's the first thing my ISP would
ask for, probably.
