That little program is fine when compiled with:
$ gcc --version
2.7.2.3

And dies when compiled with:
$ c++ --version
egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3 release)

libc6 .deb is 2.0.7u-7.1 (above compilers on Debian).

Red Hat box has glibc-2.0.7-13 rpm version, egcs 1.0.2, gcc 2.7.2.3.

Ideas? Compiler bug?
