I found that -fstack-protector might not always work:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.5/+bug/691722

they say it was fixed in gcc 4.5.0 which I was not
able to prove in gcc release notes..

we could disable the warning like in the below
for gcc < 4.5.0, could you please test?

any other idea? ;-)

thanks,
jirka
