bug while using g++

[Marek Obuchowicz <elephant at shadow dot eu dot org>]

first attachment: file I was trying to compile with:
[elephant@elephant word2x-1.5.orig]$ g++ -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pld-linux/egcs-2.91.57/specs
gcc version egcs-2.91.57 19980901 (egcs-1.1 release)

I used:
g++  -O -g -Wall -ansi  -c text-table.cc -o text-table.o

and I got:
text-table.cc: At top level:
text-table.cc:287: Internal compiler error 892.
text-table.cc:287: Please submit a full bug report to
`egcs-bugs@cygnus.com'.
