 It might be also worth looking at the backtrace to see what
 arguments are being passed into that function etc etc.

 Oops, I somehow managed to miss this part of your statement when
 you said you were running a test program on NetBSD/alpha, I
 apologise for misinformation.

 That is right:

Reading specs from /usr/local/gcc/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-netbsdelf1.6F/3.3/specs
Configured with: ../configure --disable-nls --disable-checking --enable-languages=c,c++,java : (reconfigured)  : (reconfigured) 
Thread model: single
gcc version 3.3 20020902 (experimental)

Take care,
