	I've heard of gcc's optimiser bugs from various sources, but I've
never actually *seen* any. gcc does exibit some behavour that is different
from both the berkeley and SGS compilers, and will bring out various bugs
in code that are not present under othe rcompilers, bucause of code
restructuring, etc. gcc is particlarly obnoxious with regard to setjmp() /
longjmp(), because of the way variables are placed in registers (which
are *not* saved/restored by setjmp()/longjmp().

	One mans bug is another mans feature, so make of it what you will.
