Lest GCC (cccp actually) acquire the totally undeserved reputation as
``the compiler than can't grok apostrophes in comments'' let me remark
that the current version (1.34) certainly does not have this problem,
nor have I *ever* seen this problem with GCC.  I've been collecting
bug reports since version 1.18 (which appeared over a year ago), and
have not seen this problem mentioned before.  I would be interested
in hearing which release of GCC this purported problem occurred in.

Running ``gcc -v'' will provide the relevant information.

thanks,
