The problem is that his alpha don't has this problem.

I didn't say that it is a compiler bug, I only provided a work around for
the problem. What i think is that it is a timing problem, but I don't know
what caused that.

Btw, the problem started when i updated my alpha from an feb source to
a one on the 27th, so we only have to search between the 21st and the 27th.

I don't think that I will do that today.
