<nod>  I'm not disagreeing with anything you're saying.  My only  
point is that it might be in gcc's best interest to have the same  
implementation defined behavior as MS, EDG-based compilers and  
CodeWarrior when that is a reasonable choice (and probably others, I  
know my list of compilers is incomplete).
