Just to throw more fuel on this rather old fire, when I compile jade
with egcs's g++, the program tends to dump core rather regularly. By
backing out to g++272 vintage, the problem went away.
My guess is that it could either be a bug being tickled in egcs, in
libstdc++2.8, or in the code itself. AFAIK, with the new exception
handling in egcs, it's entirely possible that jade doesn't trap
certain exceptions it should be trapping, and that's where the problem
lies. Just curious what any others thought.
