To whoever posted this orignally (and my news has deleted the old
articles):

I've been trying to reproduce this problem but I've not yet been successful.
Can you tell me which platform, compiler target, compiler version this
problem can be reproduced on.  I can't seem to get it to happen for me 
on the 6.2 version of VADS on solaris.  Also, do you have a support log
number for this defect so I can look at the log.
