Dear Jack,

It is a bug of GCC 4.0.1.  The minimum version of GCC to
successfully compile and use the CVS HEAD version of the
PPL is 4.0.3 (this was not true until a couple of minutes
ago: I have just committed a fix).  Notice that in the past
we identified a miscompilation of the PPL with 4.0.2... so
I really would not go below 4.0.3.
All the best,

    Roberto
