Hello, I (mildly) protest the closing of this bug. The bug is not in fact "fixed" -- just "well-known". Even though it is due to a CPU issue rather than a compiler problem, unoptimized code returns different results than optimized code, which really _is_ a compiler bug. #290438 also appears to be the only such bug in the BTS filed against any version of g77. I suggest re-opening it, maybe downgrading to "minor" and tagging "fixed in 3.4/4.0" (if this is in fact the case) and/or "sarge", so people can find it in the BTS. I am not going to re-open it myself since it's your package ("you" == GCC maintainers) and I don't wish to start a game of BTS ping-pong, but please consider this request.
