That's gotta be a bug.  What version are you using?


gcc 3.4.5. If its a bug, its unlikely we will fix gcc or wait for gcc to be
fixed.

Have you tried it on another version?

  The pragmatic approach would be to simply open the *.cpp files, go
to the bottom and hit the "return" key.  The point is simply beware that
committing even platform independent code may break the build/test on an
untested platform.  The biggest disconnect seems to be between (surprise)
windows and linux.  Testing on one of each will go a long way to reducing
problems.
