Compiler bug? [was: Re: My bug !]

[Manfred Spraul]

joy-creative crashed during module initialization, you do not need a
real joystick to test that:

insmod joystick
insmod joy-creative

* with egcs-1.12, it crashes
* the problem is the first loop in js_cr_read_packet(): it overwrites
the return address.
* the code uses __u64, i.e. "unsigned long long"
* with the attached patch, it seems to work.

Could someone test joy-creative with the other relevant compilers?
(egcs-2.95, gcc-2.7.2.3)
