The bug report claims a patch checked in on the 10th broke the compiler,
but the follow up message claims a patch checked in on the 9th broke
it.  Which is it?  I find these messages contradictory.

This has been reported before.  See for instance
	http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-regression/2003-11/msg00103.html
I tried to reproduce the problem, even going so far as doing an OS
install, only to be eventually told that I should ignore the problem
after I had wasted a lot of time trying to reproduce it.

I am very skeptical of any regression reports I get from this address. 
The bug reports are flawed.  They are incomplete, ambiguous, and
sometimes contradictory.  There is no contact address, so there is no
human to get clarifications from.

I will try to reproduce this problem, but I'm not going to try very
hard, as I've been burned once before by this regression tester.  If I
can't reproduce it with a simple Ada included bootstrap and make check,
then I will assume that the regression tester is broken again.

My suspicion is that there is something wrong with the Ada testcase or
the Ada compiler, and that an Ada expert really needs to be looking at
this instead of asking non-Ada people to look at it.

Chapter 9 is the tasking tests I think.  Maybe this is a
non-deterministic bug in the threading library support?
