Jay,

Perhaps it's time for me to remove "abs" from functions.cc; Andrew Sterian
has noted that Python provides a superior version, and I believe C++ does,
as well. My guess is that the new compiler (you're using gcc 3.1, right?)
doesn't like my naive version... :)

If it's not too much trouble, try removing the definition of int abs(int)
from functions.cc and the declaration from functions.h, then recompile and
see if the problem persists. In any case, I'll make the same changes in
the source.
