Thanks for the explanation, Eli.  Very enlightening.

Please do mail it to me.  And thanks again for all your efforts, in
case no one else has thanked you lately.

BTW, two brief questions: Is there a consolidated patch set for V2.01
downloadable from anywhere?  And do you consider gcc 2.8 stable enough
to use everyday at this point?  No, I'm not trying to start a flame,
but I've been hesitating to upgrade until it stabilized.  I don't see
(or maybe I'm not reading everything I should) a whole lot of bug
reports on the ng lately.  Can I take that to mean there is some
stability there?

Thanks again for all your work.  There are those of us out here who
benefit from it every day, even if we forget to tell you about it.
