 Interestingly, all three of the above routines compile fine in TME running  
 SunOS 4.1.1, gcc-3.2.3.  Just like a real sun3, it takes a long time, but  
ends 
 up compiling and executing fine.  
  
 I originally thought that TME was failing with some type of generic extreme  
 memory consumption problem, but since compiling these three routines only 
 fails  in TME with NetBSD and not SunOS, maybe NetBSD really is hitting a m68k 
 
 instruction that is not emulated correctly.
  
 Just as gcc-3.3.3 in NetBSD never hit the "movel sp,-(sp)" problem, but  
 gcc-3.2.3 in SunOS did, maybe this time NetBSD gcc is executing a  broken 
 instruction that isn't used in SunOS.
