I restored the method.c file to that from the download on 10-31 and
remade
the compiler and reran the check-g++ tests and got the same result:

Do you have any ideas about what I may be doing wrong to get
results different than thos in the following location?

    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2000-10/msg00290.html

Also, I'm writing another test for my changes, but I don't know how
to specify the required output.  Could you give me some pointers?
Currently, this is what I'm getting:
