OK.  If you find anything useful, let us know -- I'd like to be able say
something useful on the web page like (get this fix for process.c or something
similar).

Just a new optimization that Jason Merrill (and others) developed; it went into
gcc2 just after we made the egcs branch from gcc2.

We'll be picking it up (along with all the other gcc2 changes over the last 3
months) as we do merges from gcc2 into the mainline egcs sources.
