Yes, I think that is what every one is stumped on. Making it more
difficult, a compile time rather than a runtime test is probably needed
- otherwize it won't be possible to canadian cross GDB.
Perhaphs the real problem is GDB corrupting its stack? Can you explain
the test case or is it just ``normal use''?
