Hmmmn, my (stock standard) g++ occasionally dies with "program cc1plus got 
	fatal signal 6".  It seems to be connected with over-large 
	floating-point constants (such as HUGE) in some cases...

	Is there a later version of gcc than 1.3 that is gettable for BSD (I don't
	have room to compile it... are there binaries somewhere....)

	tnx,
