Hello,

I have found a bug with the current release of CYGNUS GCC (b16).
The following program show the problem. The size of the array should be
changed depending of the total memory you have. In fact I have found that
depending of the memory usage of my computer the value should be changed.

This bug occurs on Windows NT 4.0 (french) and Windows 95 (french).

Does this bug known and will it be fixed in the future release (b17) ?

Does somebody know about the future release date ?

Thanks,
Pascal.
