It would suck if both g++-3.4 and g++-4.0 had deal-breaker bugs,
wouldn't it? But if that were so, surely it would be true that both
were, in fact, release critical bugs.

I mean, the bug doesn't stop being release critical against g++-4.0
just because we don't know if some other bugs exist in g++-3.4.
