  I can't help but ask, what on earth was the point of making a post
_without_ the errors?

  "It failed" isn't a problem description that anyone can do anything with,
and your speculation on what might have caused it isn't exactly any use to
anyone when it comes without the slightest piece of information that might
help them to confirm or deny your guesswork.  If you don't say what the
error _is_, how is anyone meant to know whether the updated compiler could
have caused it or not?

  You should maybe take a browse through the helpful advice posted at 
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
  and
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
before reposting.

    cheers,
