@smtalk are you using latest version or git ? I can not repeat the error with 2.3.18

[smtalk]

It's been reported with 1.5.2 and CentOS7. I was able to reproduce it there too. Latest git build is affected as well.

# gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44)

Kindly test with latest git

[smtalk]

It works fine with latest git!
