Re: Bug in 'fft'

[Brian Gough <bjg at network-theory dot co dot uk>]

Thanks for the bug report.  The "n mod 7 = 0" behaviour isolates the
problem to c_pass7.c (the n=7 butterfly).

I think it may be a problem with gcc-2.95.1 compiling that file.  The
code is working ok with other compilers.  I don't know if you tried
compiling without -O, but if that makes the problem go away it would
support this hypothesis.

Perhaps someone on the list might know if there are potential problems
with that version of gcc.
