Why are you compiling with --enable-gcov?
Just to test it
David, is this a wontfix/invalid bug due to the --enable-gcov? Or should we support compiling with --enable-gcov?
Given that I can't reproduce it, and that gcov is a developer-only tool and anyone using it should have the skills to fix problems themselves, it's wontfix.
