Sorry about that, I've contributed my share (for C, not C++, anyway). In
any case, if you are getting hundereds of bug reports a week, it means many
people who can't help out directly by hacking the compiler do chip in by
reporting funnies, which is a form of (indirect) recognition IMV.

Keep up the good work!
