Oooh, good catch.   Thanks to people like you
for helping make sure gcc-4.0's release is done
with eyes wide open and as many bugs fixed as
possible.

I'm busy redoing crosstool's rpm packaging scheme
(gee, turns out SRPMS are kind of a must if you
want sysadmins to take it seriously), but as soon
as I'm done with that, I hope to try gcc-4.0
on a bunch of code and see if I can break it
like you've been doing.
