I can try, but since much software out there produces aliasing warning, I always build with -O2 -g -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing Not sure, whether the original bug also occured when using "-fno-strict-aliasing". I also vaguely remember the original bug happened only with gcc 4.5 or 4.6, not with 4.1.2. Regards, Rainer
