I have verified that the cygwin and mingw ports gcc-3.x also exhibit the same behavior but have not yet had time to install gcc-3.x and check this problem under any other environments. Does anyone know if this problem is only associated with the Win9X ports of gcc-3.x or if it is a generic GCC 3.X problem? So far I have not been able to find any bug reports or any notice that the feature had been removed. ------
