MSK> gcc (GCC) 3.3.2 (NetBSD nb1 20031026)

Hm.

Yes, I got a core dump.

1)  Where are you running this program (i.e. where is it trying to dump
	its core?)?

2)  Change the return(0) to return(c) and you will get an FPE fault
	no matter the optimization level, because -O[1-6] will cause gcc
	to generate compiled code which effectively ignores most of the
	function because you're assigning to but not using any of your
	local variables.
