Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

	Thanks to Eli Zaretskii and Richard Stallman for responding to my
original request.  However, the problem still exists.  Here is my original
question:

	Richard suggested reverting from GCC 4.0.1 to an earlier
version.  We tried GCC 3.4.3 (the last version prior to 4.0.1 that we
had installed).  I cleared out emacs and reinstalled.  The same
problem occurs.

	Eli suggested turning optimization off.  We tried that (with
GCC 3.4.3).  The problem persists.  I notice that the makefiles keep
trying the -O2 option; I don't know if my -O0 is overriding that or is
being overriden.

	I have attached a transcript of the installation of emacs using
gcc -O0 and a transcript of using gdb on the core file.

	Thank you for your help.
