I think Sean's thinking of lng085, of which:

/* As quoted from scolon!/usr/spool/uucppublic/SLS/info
 * New on 9/28/90:
 * 
 *     lng085:  No longer available, replaced by lng244.
 * end of quote from scolon!/usr/spool/uucppublic/SLS/info */

Note that lng244 is relative to 2.3.1 DS, so apparently there is no
longer a free upgrade for our friend in the Soviet Union.  Still,
he's got GCC so what does it matter? :-)

I *can* independently confirm that lng085's compiler does not have
the bug, whereas 4.85's compiler does.  I'm also just about
to wipe most of these compiler passes off my disc (ENOSPC), so 'scuse me...
