I just grabbed grabbed gcc 2.8.1 from smc.vnet.com. I should have that
installed later today.  Full rebuilds are not a problem for me.  I did
just get a project bubbled to the top of my queue here that should take
about a day or two.  I certainly can try patches and such, but I may
not have time plod through with gdb for a few days.   (Not that I can
help much anyway.) I'm also going to be away for Labor day starting
Friday night EST. I'm returning on Tuesday night EST.
