>Description:
shifting a variable a number of bits greater or equal to its size produces incorrect results.  This problem has been verified with both unsigned and unsigned long long.  This problem has only been seen on x86 Linux.  Both gcc 3.0.3 and xlC 5.0 on AIX 4.3 produces correct results.
>How-To-Repeat:
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  unsigned x = 0xffffffff;
  x = x << 32;

  if(x != 0)
    cout << "Bit shifting is broken: expected 0x0, but got: " << hex << x << endl;
  else
    cout << "Bit shifting works" << endl;

  return 0;
}
