This is a really strange error. I'm wondering if it is a gcc optimization
bug I've encountered. Probably something in hypermail's config but we are
working that. I've opened up access to 2b26 with no optimization turned
on in the build. It compiles on RH6 here that way. If I turn on optimizer
flags I get errors like the above... sigh. I have gotten it to compile on
the test systems here over lunch (Solaris, FreeBSD, RedHat and Windows98).
We are going to be working to find out what the issues are on the linux
side later tonight. Until then please give it a try on your systems.
