Dear Erik,
Thanks! It works right now.

By the way, I found there is a problem with OS X's new gcc3.1.
<error>
fnbf.c: In function `set_non_java_mode':
fnbf.c:60: argument 0 to built-in function `vec_splat_u32' does not satisfy
constraint A
make[3]: *** [fnbf.lo] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
</error>

It works if I use gcc2.95, I think I will stick on it until Apple gcc3.1 is
no longer an experimental release.

Best,
