Well I tried it with csh, with no effect. I'll change my root-Shell
but I don't think this will make any difference, because the only
program affected is cc1plus! If it really makes a difference, I'll take
a closer look at bash v2.0 :)

Usually I am much too lazy to compile a custom kernel, especially
because I have to update the sources from time to time...

I could do that, but I don't think, this would help - it really can
happen, that I try to compile a file for over an hour, interrupt the
compilation, try it again and suddenly it only needs a few seconds!

Bye,
