I recompiled octave on solaris with gcc-3.4.3 (the one that I have on
FC3 systems) and I still do not see problem on solaris.

I cannot trigger it on 2xPPro 200 MHz (RH9, gcc-3.2.2-5) nor on
SparcII/Solaris8 (440 MHz) with either gcc-3.3.3 or gcc-3.4.3.

It triggers easily on Celeron laptop (1000MHz) (FC3 gcc-3.4.2),
more often then not on 2xAthlonMP 2000MHz and seldom on
AtlonXP 1666 MHz (last two - FC3 with gcc 3.4.3-17).
