Are you building with -O2 or O0?  AFAIK, the whole 1.8 branch has bad
stack behavior with -O0...

However, as IA-64 is an uncommon platform, and 2.0 will be out soon
(which AFAIK does not exhibit this problem), I would be inclined to let
search engines pick up the workaround from these mails.

Let us know if there is something else we should do.

Thanks for the report,

Andy
