Troubles with current 3.3 and 21_strings/ctor_copy_dtor.cc

[Paolo Carlini]

Hi,

I wanted to apply the fix for 11528 to the branch too and I noticed that 
the unpatched sources behave *very* strangely for me on this testcase: 
all the physical memory is used and the system becomes unusable. 
Probably, after a while it would crash, but I managed to stop 'make 
check' with CTRL-C.

Weird, never seen something like this before.

Is anyone seeing something vaguely similar?

My system is P4, 512 MB, linux2.4.20, glibc2.3.2.

Thanks,
Paolo.
