bug in g++

[simon@u-bourgogne.fr]

Dear Sir,

Here is what seams to be a bug in g++

Identical on two machines :

1) Celeron 1200Mhz, RAM 256 Mo, Linux Mandrake 9.0

[simon@altig bug]$ gcc -c bug.cc
bug.cc: In function `void func(S_Token*)':
bug.cc:8: internal error: Segmentation fault
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.

2) Pentium 3, 350MHz, RAM 128 Mo, Linux Redhat 8.0

/*Here starts the source file bug.cc
which contains an obvious nesting mistake line 8
Note that the suffix .cc seems here to be important.
These comments are not part of the source file (for lines counting) which starts with typedef struct...*/

typedef struct S_Token
	{
	char token ;
	} ;

void func(S_Token *ptr_token)
	{
	if('E' == ptr_token[0].token) && ('F' == ptr_token[1].token))
		{
		}
	return ;
	}

/* Here ends the source file bug.cc*/

The souce file being so short, I see no point to give more details.
Sincerely yours,
