Have you tried the new 1.1a package yet? It's now installed on
alpha.debian.nl. It seems to compile ok for me. The only thing I can see
wrong with the code is that you're testing and using 'y' while it's still
undefined. Then again, that all happens before the line that barfed.
What package did this come from? I'd like to try it and send something to
the egcs list about it if it still comes up. I already have one case to
send them from jade, so I wouldn't mind tacking another on to that email.
