Hi Armin,

I've tried different versions of GCC (4.4 and 4.5): in both cases do I get
a pypy-c that crashes once the jit is invoked. It was just a guess, and it
turns out not to be related to the version of GCC (or associated tools).

I did a fresh hg clone from bitbucket to make sure it's nothing local. I
find that the trunk on my machine does NOT crash, but the branch does from
that same fresh clone does.

There are only a few changes that are in trunk but not yet in the branch (I
did a recent merge). Also, the runtime of the branch is somewhat different,
as it is linked to one more library (libReflex.so).

I'll update the branch once more; easy to test if that makes a difference.
Also, I'll try once more on the branch with cppyy disabled. That should be
identical to trunk.

Thanks,
      Wim
