GNU troff version 1.01
gcc/g++ version 1.39
The problem is caused by a bug in g++ 1.39: operator delete (the C++
equivalent of free()) doesn't work properly.
Apply the following fix to g++ or upgrade to a newer version:
*** cplus-decl.c.~1~ Mon Aug 6 05:28:59 1990
--- cplus-decl.c Wed Jun 5 08:55:04 1991
