It works for large negative indexes, i.e. try 0x80000000 instead
of 0x7fffffff.

The following "source file" is enough to crash gcc 2.95.x here:

-- snip --
int main()
{
    char    c = ""[0x80000000];
}
-- snap --

The smallest negative index I was able to use to crash gcc here
with i386-Linux 2.6.0 and gcc-2.95.4 is 0xffe4a9e7 (-1791513) -
interestingly, though, gcc does not crash when using [-1791513]
instead of [0xffe4a9e7].

Also interesting: If I change the funtion name to __main(), gcc
still crashes with 0xffe4a9e7, but with ___main(), the value has
to be changed to 0xffe4a9db (12 bytes "more" negative) to still
crash the compiler.


Ciao
