Good. Now what we need to find is a workaround that we can include in the
release. Brian, can you switch back to your original descrip.mms, apply the
following patch, and try to rebuild the extension again? Just hack in the
lines preceded by plus signs and delete the plus signs. You can delete the
comment too since we don't know if it's true yet :-). This isn't much more
than an educated guess at this point, but since turning off all
optimizations works and since we do turn off ANSI aliasing on Alpha, this
just might be it.
