Thanks for clearing it up. 

Apparently there are many people who don't like Redhat's recent choice of 
compilers. I plan to keep my (modified) RH 6.1 until redhat creates a 
reliable distribution, or consider changing to Debian.

BTW, did you try compiling the patched version with gcc-2.96? It would be 
helpful to know the results.
