hi,

i think i have found a bug, either that or i am very stupid. the bug is a
gcc bug and it is cygwin specific (cygwin-1.3.10-1 gcc-2.95.3-5) and the
following code causes a seg fault:
-------------------------------------------
int end;

int main ()
{
  end = 1;

  return 0;
}
--------------------------------------------

where as the following code does not:
-------------------------------------------
int notend;

int main ()
{
  notend = 1;

  return 0;
}
--------------------------------------------

it seems that the word "end" seems to do somethings differently. also if the
variable was declared as static (static int end) there are not problems with
that. hope you guys can help.

cheers,

alex
