It would have helped tremendously if you had stated that you compiled 
using "-ffpe-trap=overflow". With that flag, I can reproduce it on Linux.

(Thanks also to Tim Zeisloft of Lahey/Marlette Software for looking into 
it on Windows - and finding that "-ffpe-trap=overflow" caused the issue.)


That's now tracked at http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57496

Workaround:  Don't use "-ffpe-trap=overflow".
