The fun part is, I don't have these problems with gcc 2.95 for
Solaris 7 on sparc64. The very same program (tgif) compiled with
the same compiler (well, nearly. 2.95 vs. netbsd's 2.95) on the
same hardware (sparc64, ultra sparc II 400 mhz) in the same machine
basically (ok, 2 proc vs. 1 proc) with the only real difference
being netbsd vs. sunos 5.7, works fine on the latter, crashes
immediately on the former...
