This reminds me, before any pre-releases/releases we need to disable
optimisation on gcc 2.96. Juergen's commenting out in tabular.C has masked
the optimiser bug currently, but we never know where other bugs might lie.
gcc 2.96-82 and above seem OK, but RH provided no easy way of determining
this version. So we must turn off -O.
Also Juergen, can those #if 0 bits be actually deleted from tabular.C now ?
Having these everywhere makes the code hard to read.
Also, I'm adding some comments to tabular.h currently but I'm not sure of a few
things. I'll send a patch soonish.
thanks
