According to the bug criteria on the gcc-300 info page, under the
heading "Have You Found a Bug?":

   * If the compiler gets a fatal signal, for any input whatever, that
     is a compiler bug.  Reliable compilers never crash.

Of course, this may be a known bug or even one that has been fixed in
3.4, so I would check the bug database before reporting it.
