Sure. I'll bootstrap and regression test your 2003-07-25 patch,
together with some new testcases so that we'll know what to expect
in future.
Out of interest could you try compiling the example code given in
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-08/msg01129.html with EDG and let
me know whether it aborts or passes?
