No, you are right. I know you are right, that's why I
(gs maintainer) use gcc-2.7.2.1. So, you are wrong in
thinking that gcc-2.7.2's bugs may have caused this.
Anyway, for anyone interested, his problems were caused
by him using libc-5.4.7.
Also, he would get core dumps whatever arguments he gave to
gs (as long as it were at least 2 arguments, I think).
