thanks for trying to help me, but i tried your proposition and it
resulted in an internal compiler error - see dump...

 Compiling: dbbf.cpp
 In method `CDoubleBuffer::~CDoubleBuffer()':
 src/main/double/dbbf.cpp(41) Error: Internal compiler error in
`find_function
 Please submit a full bug report.
 See <URL:http://egcs.cygnus.com/faq.html#bugreport> for instructions.
 There were some errors

i m not sure if this does have to do with the static declaration,
anyway i miss my old style of declaring things in header files to be
easily retraceable...

cheers

btw.: i m sorry but i can't post the source-code. as far as the
problem is concerned i think it should be easy to reproduce the thing
by reading this thread.
