Yeps... It's a gcc bug, well not actually gcc, actually more egcs.
Normally the memset code is in libc, but for "performance" and
"optimization" reasons the egcs authors also put the memset into egcs
which gives a lot of headaches to many programmers due to the fact that
egcs keeps 100% compliance with standard, at least the egcs authors say
so.. :)
