Judging from the pattern of failures it seems that it crashes whenever an
exception is thrown.  Probably exceptions go uncatched, for whatever
reason.

In any case, CLN 1.1.5 and GiNaC 1.0.x have been tested with GCC 3.1 on a
variety of platforms!  Please tell us exactly what platform you have,
which compiler-flags you passed, how you configured and if there was
anything suspicious.  I'll try to reproduce it then.
