I reproduced the same thing with egcs-19990601 (I updated gcc 2.95
branch with CVS then) under Linux (kernel 2.2.9, glibc-2.1.1). 
As I don't have good test example to send then perhaps I'll retry the same
with later snapshots. Perhaps it would be worth to try also with
gcc-2.96 tree to see whether something changes.
