I have a very simple program here, namely:
----------
#include <malloc.h>
void __attribute__((malloc)) intersect(int list)
{
int* shite = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int));
}
int main()
{
intersect(5);
}
----------
Attempting to compile this using GCC 3.4 with `gcc bug.c` causes a segmentation
fault.
Output of `gcc -v --save-temps bug.c`:

This interface for bug submissions is horrible (no offense). If I can figure
out how to attach files to this bug, I will attach the .i file.
