I've written a little application launcher bar that, when you use the
windowmanager 'destroy' function (or just exit X), catches the sigpipe
produced, and if using -O6 will hang there unless it sends a signal 9 to
itself (really). With -O2 it exits correctly (yes, I'm using gtk_exit
here).
I hear there's a new egcs coming soon, I'll test it with that too and see
if the problem is resolved.
