Debora,

Your problem is that G++ needs more RAM to be able to compile that file.

Lately, there has been a lot of work on making the C++ compiler consumes less 
and less memory, and on making on faster, but this is work cannot be backported 
into the 3.3 stable release serie. Currently G++ 3.4.0 compiles faster than 
2.95 on most tests, and consumes around the same amount of memory. 

I would suggest you to try again upgrading your compiler to 3.4.0. You will 
have to pull it from CVS and recompile it. Also, you may want to take a look at 
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/changes.html, since the new compiler is much more 
strict to the C++ standard, so old code might need to be modified. 

If this is feasable for you, I will be looking forward to a new report from you 
on how 3.4.0 behaves with your code. Alas, it's probably too late to improve 
the 3.3 serie so much. If you really need to use it, you can probably trying 
adding more RAM to your computer, it should probably allow it to finish 
compilation.
