OK.  I really hate working around wierd toolchain bugs (I use 2.95.4
here and it's fine), and adding an initializer to the macro is ugly.

If you're not going to upgrade your compiler, will you accept a gcc
patch to fix this?  If so, where can I get the source to your exact
version?

Thanks,
Rusty.
