http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view%20audit-trail&database=gcc&pr=8345 I've tried a series of compilers ranging from 2.95.3 on through several 3.x compilers, and I don't see a crash. So, it appears that this issue was fixed long ago. If you are stuck with 2.95.x for compatibility reasons, you might want to try 2.95.3.
