Using egcs 1.1.2 release on Red Hat Linux 6.0.
  % uname -a
  Linux foam 2.2.5-15 #1 Mon Apr 19 23:00:46 EDT 1999 i686 unknown

I am using the STLPort version of the STL headers.
(see http://www.stlport.org/)

I have a pre-processed file that when compiled
with default optimization (-O) will not complete and will
continue to consume virtual memory till it runs out.

The file compiles correctly (and in a reasonable amount of time)
without optimization turned on.

I cannot send the tar file, due the message length limitations
of the mail server.  I can make it available to anyone who
wants it.  I have attached the output of the compilation with
the '-v' switch below.

The tar file contains:
 README - this text
 compile.txt - the compilation command line (g++ -v)
 os.txt - the output of uname -a
 funcs.ii - the preprocessed source file

To reproduce problem:
  gcc -O -c funcs.ii

Successful compilation:
  gcc -c funcs.ii

Thanks for any and all help.
