Too late, sorry. I've upgraded to 4.1.3 and it works fine now. Maybe I'll find 
time to check again but this will take some days.

argh, I was down to suspecting gcc.

I suppose we can just stir the code around to make it go away.  Like this?

Ok, I'm using the compiler from SuSE 10.2 now and it works. Time that we

It's totally weird. It prints the "skipped" message for every (!) number, not 
just for the blacklisted ones. And I've triple checked that I don't have 
missed the '{'.

Compiler is SuSEs 4.1.0 from their 10.1. I remember some rumors that this

I was seeing this behavior a couple days ago.  I had been ignoring the
warnings about using the known-broken gcc 4.1.0; updating to 4.1.1
fixed it for me.
