  Progress not brilliant.  Attached is the patch I've been running with in my
local build of the DLL since July 19th.  My original plan was to run the GCC
testsuites for C++, Fortran and Java since they're all heavy users of c/dtors,
and make sure nothing regressed there.  However I've been plagued by power
cuts, BSoDs and BLODA(*) meaning that I haven't yet managed to complete
anything except the fortran run (which as we saw looked good) - everything
else has been interrupted part way through losing a-day-or-more's partial
results.  Sigh.

  I appear to have worked around my BLODA for the moment and have a testrun
progressing nicely now, with g++ completed and java nearly done.  Let's wait
and see how the libstdc++ tests go, sometime tomorrow.

    cheers,
      DaveK

think I can blame it for the power cut.
