[egcs-1.0.3, g++] Internal compiler error 9

[TANAKA, Atushi]

Hello

A egcs-1.0.3 complier (g++) suggested me to send a bug report.
The contents of the report is the following:
	1. Outline
	2. Source code
	3. Details
	Appendix A: error message with g++ ver 2.8.1
	Appendix B: error message with g++ ver 2.7.2


%-----------------------------------------------
% 1. Outline
%-----------------------------------------------
egcs version:	egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3 release)
egcs command:	g++
OS:		GNU/Linux (kernel ver. 2.0.33, CPU: i586)
error message:	Internal compiler error 9.
Note:		The same error message is obtained with gcc 2.8.1.
		But with gcc 2.7.2, the error message is "parse error".
		(See Appendix A and B, respectively.)
