It is so also for me. .

Looks that this is DJGPP specific. I tested this problem with 
gcc-2.8.0 and pgcc-2.90.23 (egcs-1.0.1) under Windows-95.

There is NO SUCH PROBLEM under LINUX with gcc-2.8.1 
and with pgcc-2.90.23 (egcs-1.0.1).This small example works Ok
with both compilers I tested under Linux ( 2.8.1 and pgcc)
I don't have 2.8.0 under Linux and perhaps will never have as I moved 
immediatelly from 2.7.2.3 to 2.8.1).
