I have now upgraded gcc to 3.3.2 and I am getting the same error. We are 
still freezing during test.

I have also noticed something that might be my crap "imc" or related to 
the problem

Can someone tell me if there is an error in the code below. When I run 
it repeatedly from the command line it sometimes freezes ie it prints 
the contents of the array and then just stops and I need to do a CTRL-C 
to get back to the command line.

.pcc_sub _MAIN prototyped
    .param pmc argv
    .local PerlArray a
    a = new PerlArray
    .local PerlString s
    s = new PerlString
    a =  10
    a[0] = "Zero"
    a[1] = "One"
    a[2] = "Two"
    a[3] = "Three"
    a[4] = "Four"
    a[5] = "Five"
    a[6] = "Six"
    a[7] = "Seven"
    a[8] = "Eight"
    s =  a[2]
    print "\n"
    print s
    print "\n"
    end
.end
I have also tried the above code using the "set" syntax and I get the 
same problem.

Are there any recommended examples of IMC in the source tree and which 
docs are the most recent. I have noticed that there are a lot of 
different ways of doing things (typical perl). I am trying to pick it up 
from the FAQ, some examples and the docs but its an uphill struggle. For 
instance I have noticed that

set a[0], "one"

or

a[0] = "one"

appear to do the same thing. I cannot confirm that they do due to the 
bug above.

I have got to the point where I am trying to put rows from Postgres into 
arrays and this is slowing me down a bit.
