gcc bug - signal 6

[John Newbigin]

I hope this is the correct place to send this.

While compiling ssh 1.2.21 I came across a reproducable bug.
I am using gcc 2.7.2.2, a standard Slackware installation.

This is the line of code which causes the problem.

a = 1 / (a > 0);

where a is an integer. ie:

bug.c:
int main()
{
	int a;
	a = 1 / (a > 0);
}

$ gcc -c bug.c
gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 6

I don't know if this is known, but I could not find it anyware.  I don't
know if it exists in later versions either.

John.
