Hola,

I ran into this bug while testing the new pipe(). It seems 'long long' type 
arguments are rather fragile. For example, the innocent looking program below 
requires ctrl-c to stop it using 2.95.2 and above: 

int long_long_test(long long x)
{
  do
  {
    x =- 1;
  } while (x);

  return 0;
}

int main()
{
  long long val = 5LL;
  long_long_test(val);

  return 0;
}

I tried it with mingw and it goes into an  infinite loop there too.

Mark
