Exactly happended on earlier Solaris releases with gcc versions 2.95
and 2.95.1. The reason was an problem in the gcc optimizer. Compiling
mf / mpost w/o optimization has helped. I guess that there is some bug
in gcc 2.95.2 on Solaris 8, too.
Workarounds:
- compile with less optimization
- use a different compiler
- use binaries compiled by someone else
Consider writing a bug report for gcc.
