Bug#541816: gcc-4.4: eat all memory (regression from 4.4.1-1)

[Bill Allombert <ballombe@debian.org>]

Package: gcc-4.4
Version: 4.4.1-2
Severity: important

Hello Debian GCC Maintainers,

Compiling the file linked below (on amd64)
http://people.debian.org/~ballombe/misc/gcc44bug.i.gz
with
gcc-4.4 -c -O2 -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing -o base3.o gcc44bug.i

cause gcc to eat all available memory and die.

This is a regression from 4.4.1-1.
This occurs both on amd64 and i386 (with a differently preprocessed file).

Cheers,

Imagine a large red swirl here.
