compiler warning

I am seeing the following compiler warning for the past few days:

basebackup.c:213: warning: variable `ptr' might be clobbered by
`longjmp' or `vfork'

and I see this comment in the file:

/*
* Actually do a base backup for the specified tablespaces.
*
* This is split out mainly to avoid complaints about "variable might be
* clobbered by longjmp" from stupider versions of gcc.
*/

Seems that isn't working as expected. I am using:

gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)

with -O1.
