I should mention that you need to compile with -march=pentiumpro to trigger the bug. It's related to the way gcc 3 uses "movl x,y(%esp)" instead of "pushl x" when passing arguments to a function. I suggest backing out the commit that made CSTD=c99 the default, so that we go back to using gcc's builtin alloca() until we figure out how to fix the one in libc.
