Well, I'm not sure if this is really related, but some weeks ago I had
problems to compile one specific source file (part of gnuplot 3.6) with
"-O3 -Wall -W" flags enabled (cc1 produced a seg fault). After some
tracking down, I finally managed to 'solve' this by rebuilding gcc and
using the GNU malloc package (the offending line inside cc1 was actually
a call to malloc, and that error vanished after the switch to GNU's
malloc). Maybe either cwsdpmi or DJ's malloc is buggy?
