Has anyone looked at this, or can anyone at least confirm it?  The error
still occurs with the gcc-2.95.2-1k RPM from Franz Sirl.  See my previous
post at:

	http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2000-03/msg00974.html

Beware that the compilation of the file in the above message also
sometimes crashes my entire machine, first slowing it down to a crawl, so
I usually kill it after it has run for a little while.

It looks like some loop is out of control in gcc and starts filling up all
of my memory.  "top" shows cc1 climbing to 160MB of memory usage before I
kill it (my laptop has 192MB of RAM).  (In contrast, the file compiles
quickly on a Pentium with gcc 2.95.2.)
