I have such a system. No problems seen here with similar compiler
flags. Dynarr_resize is very stable code. I can only imagine a
compiler bug with double to integer conversions.
Are you using gcc 2.95.2, which I believe is the standard compiler here?
It's very hard to believe any change in 21.1 could have caused your
backtrace. Nevertheless, you could try isolating the change, or try
changing `multiplier' in Dynarr_resize to be an int, and
unconditionally initialize it to 2.
Or try this patch, to avoid confusing the compiler:
