Unfortunately (?), this is not a bug I could reproduce.  Compiling
your example code in i586-pc-linux-gnu, with gcc 2.95.1, did not
result in a crash. The compiler consumed quite some memory (top showed
48MB), before it produced a long list of error messages, starting with

gcc-internal-error-too-big.cc:17426: syntax error before `#'

So, maybe the compiler ran out of memory on your system, and that
caused something to crash. That might have been the compiler, or the C
library. Maybe it is in the compiler, but platform specific - I can't
test it on sunx86_56.

Regards,
Martin
