Description

PMR 02261,K78,000

When compiled with the 3/30/2006 patch of XLC++ 8.0 the
executable in the tarball below (linked with the included
shared archive) crashes AIX 5.3 causing the operating
system to spontaneously reboot. Our analysis points toward
the invocation of dynamic_cast in the program as the culprit.
