[CF-Devel] Crossfire CVS and GCC 3.3

[crossfire-devel-admin at archives.real-time.com]

Problems have recently been spotted when attempting to run the CVS server. The 
main symptom is the map parsing getting stuck into an endless loop.

After quite some investigations, it appears that using GCC 3.3.1 or 3.3.2 to 
build the server code causes that loop. Compiling the same code under the 
same conditions with an older GCC version (2.95,3.1 or 3.2) doesn't produce 
the bug. The exact source of the problem is unclear, but it could be a GCC 
bug.

So if you get that problem, try to use an older version of GCC instead of 3.3.
