Hello,

trying to compile bullet (http://www.40th.com, very fast database engine) I
got a compiler exception. Managed to cut the code down to the following -
further trimming removes the problem.

I don't have a cygwin b18 config to test it on - is this a problem with the
GCC code, or just with the mingw32 version?

It happens under 4DOS and COMMAND.COM shells, haven't tried bash.

To see it, just do "gcc -c bang.c".

Any ideas, anyone?

Regards,
Tom.
