This happens on some of my code as well and is in many ways a far worse 
issue to deal with. Some of my code compiles and runs, but the floating 
point answers to many of the calculations are wrong. This makes the 
issue(s) very difficult to run down (and also makes me stick with gcc3 
like the posters colleagues).
