I tried 1.22 and it's the same.  Depending on factors that I don't
understand, either it core dumps the compiler or else it compiles OK and
then acts very strangely at runtime.

I'm afraid I don't have time to track this down right now, but I've gone
back to 1.19 (or so) and it's working fine.  The only thing it doesn't
have that I'd like is the changes to "define" in a body.  It handles C++
well, which I care about more...
