If you still get problems, with programs compiled with the fixed version
of UnixLib (ie that supplied with gcc 2.95.4 release 1 or later), then
you should submit a bug report to the gcc bug database or mailing
list with as much detail as possible.

Personally, I haven't had any complete lock ups from UnixLib programs
since the fix.
