I didn't mean that the bug wasn't fixed, just that it wasn't likely to
be packaged before next week. I assume the bug has been reported? It's
been a long time since egcs 1.1 and many bugs were only fixed in the
mainline sources, so it may have been fixed for a while. If you're
interested enough, the egcs-ss packages in experimental should show you
whether it's been fixed in the most recent version.
