Ok, question for you.. what exact Unix based OS are you running? ie:
release numbers, etc.
If it's System V (or anything like it) then it could be a buggy compiler.
I've seen things like this happen with network code.
In particular, the gcc compiler source states that some versions of cc
have bugs. There's usually 2 ways of calling cc, either from /usr/bin/
or /usr/ucb/. One of those 2 might be buggy, try fiddling with your path
to call the other (or explicity nominating them).

I learnt this the hard way, trying to compile GCC on a ICL-Fujitsu box for
work, running a very 'off' release of System V Rel 4.2
