The bug is not reproduceable, so it is likely a hardware or OS problem

[Comment 1 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2004-02-11 14:18:09 UTC]

Why are you updating to gcc-3.3.2-r4?

[Comment 2 Joshua Kinard 2004-02-11 14:24:31 UTC]

Try dropping the -funroll-loops and cutting the -O3 down to -O2, see if the issue persists.

[Comment 3 Alexander Gabert (RETIRED) 2004-03-04 05:17:04 UTC]

is this problem still existing, did you try to upgrade to a newer version of gcc?

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2004-04-18 22:41:11 UTC]

please re-open if you're still having issues with latest stable gcc
