Some line in your code is generating an assembler line which is
overflowing the read buffers in the assembler.

Try using the -S option instead of the -c option - this will stop g++
before calling the assembler, so you can look at what's going to the
assembler. Then look around line 313 and see what's happening. :-)

take care,
