Subject: two problems...

I am running Linux SLS .99pl6 on a 386/40(AMD) box, 8Meg ram.
First problem:
I tried to compile the newly uploaded eps-0.1.tar.z (actually the author
let me get it directly from his site).
The g++ hung the os while doing g++ -I../h -O -c dvistate.c -o dvistate.o.
So I had to pressed the reset button to reboot (ctrl-alt-del did not
respond). I did it while running X.
I tried again to compile the same package on a virtual terminal and
watched top in an other vt. It happened that during compiling
dvistate.c, cc1plus ate the whole 4 free mem and started to take my
16 meg swap space 1 meg per second so I killed the make before
running out of memory (I thing it was the one that hung the os).

Second problem:
I was trying to install the newly announced GCC library 4.3.3.
I did not notice any problem until I run df which said
something like "unable to read ?? table..." so I point the
libc.so.4 back to libc.so.4.0.
