What you are seeing is a regression in the compiler, and we surely need to look
into it and possibly have it fixed. It would be great if you could create a new
bug report within our bug database (http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla), and attacch
the preprocessed source code to it. Please, read also the instruction at
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html to know what else we need (command line, system
triplet, etc.). You might have noticed that G++ 3.4 usually consumes less or
equal RAM than 3.3 when compiling large C++ testcases, and this is how we want
it for everything.
Thank you for reporting this,
