  Hello Mark! :)

Thanks for the information. I tried excuting it on FreeBSD with gcc 3.4.4 
and to my surprise, it worked perfectly well. I mean, absolutely no 
hassles.

And about -fno-strict-aliasing option, I checked the gcc 4.1.1 man page, 
no such option is supported. I tried -fstrict-aliasing, but in vain. :(

I think, it could be, as you said, because of using very recent gcc. Could 
you please test run it, just to see if that is the case.

Thank you!
