Hmm?  I wonder whether cl_fmt_scaleexp were initialized before the
cl_FF_globals?  Just to make double sure, please send me the files
cln/include/intparam.h and cln/include/floatparam.h.  Also, you compiled
with -g -O2, right?  Please check whether those are indeed the compiler
flags when you compiled the library!

If you feel like experimenting a bit: If I were you, I would now build my
own compiler.  All you need is a few 100MB disk space, configure using
similar arguments as the system-compiler (but --enable-languages=c,c++
only), make bootstrap, make install.  Then adjust your PATH and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and try that compiler.  If the problem vanishes, then
Slackware shipped a buggy compiler.
