 One thing this should have been reported to Red-Hat and I think there 
 is a
 new version from Red-Hat and it does not crash on the version of I have 
 installed:
 gcc version 3.1 20011221 (experimental)
 gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-85)
 gcc driver version 3.1 20011221 (experimental) executing gcc version 
 3.0.4
 Thanks,
 Andrew Pinski
