I'd double-check your assumption with gcc -print-search-dirs; remember
that gcc has an internal list of directories that are searched *before*
the user's path is, and on Solaris by default that list contains
/usr/ccs/bin.  So it's entirely possible for gcc on Solaris to pick up
vendor as even if it's nowhere in your path.

I realize that you're not having problems in the same place that I was,
but you're reporting "impossible" random crashes, which is precisely the
symptoms of the problem created by patch 107058-01 at least in my
experience.
