According to my notes, this happens if you compile with -O2 on at least
some versions of Alpha egcs. Try -O0 instead. There are still some
glitches exposed by the regress tests, though, particularly in date/time
handling. Now that we have an Alpha box available to the project, the
problems in this port should get cleaned up for 7.1. (Given a favorable
tailwind or 25 hours in the day, that is ;-))
