I can understand that, but as I've explained elsewhere, the process of
isolating code for testcase purposes, is not necesarily a simple one,
especially not if the program in question has a complex interrelationship
between a number of critical functions.

I was hoping that my observations, which are not concrete on purpose, could
stand for themselves, because people who _have_ isolated such code, and who
knows more about gcc that I do, would say: He has a point there. I've been
experiencing the same thing.

But I guess no one here has, then.

David.
