reassign 270336 vbox3 thanks This is not a gcc bug; the code violates C's aliasing rules, as can be seen when using -Wall:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/vbox3-0.1.9.2/vboxgetty% gcc-3.4 -W -Wall -DSYSCONFDIR=/usr/../etc/isdn/vbox -DPKGDATADIR=/usr/share/isdn/vbox -DLOGDIR=/var/log -DLOCKDIR=/var/lock -DPIDDIR=/var/run -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/usr/include/tcl8.3 -g -O2 -c vboxrc1.c vboxrc1.c: In function `vboxrc_parse': vboxrc1.c:107: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [...] Either the source should be fixed, or -fno-strict-aliasing added as a workaround.
