Unfortunately, as noted in the host list above, HP-UX and
other old-school linux variants (AIX, IRIX) are not
available in their list. You can get HP-UX test accounts
through the HP/Compaq testdrive center.

In any case, this was one issue that seemed to be a
x-platform issue that only arose seriously on HP. I find
that is actually a good advantage to many platforms - this
would not be the first general bug that was highlighted by
slight mem mgmt or other differences of a single platform.
In fact, the extra 'break' issue I highlighted yesterday
was also found by the Solaris Forte compiler as a general
warning, but gcc missed it. I don't have IRIX anymore, but
I recall the SGI compiler to have been very good about
pointing out possible bugs as general warnings.
