GPC compiler crash

program trimdiana (da, output);
(* trimdiana: gpc crash

This Pascal program demonstrates an internal error crash of the Gnu
Pascal Compiler.  The crash occurs when one attempts to compile:

% gpc trimdiana.p
gpc: Internal error: Illegal instruction: 4 (program gpc1)
Please submit a full bug report.
See <URL:http://www.gnu-pascal.de/todo.html> for instructions.

This program is an extensively trimmed version of
http://alum.mit.edu/www/toms/delila/diana.html
setting 'trimax = 8006000' in that program is also sufficient
to cause the problem.

(* THE KEY POINT: if trimax is 25000, gpc compiles ok.
If it is 8006000, gpc gives:
