Hmmm, looks like a compiler bug.
Can you try to compile the lastest XORP code from the anon-CVS
repository and see if you still trigger the same bug?
If this doesn't help, can you try a different gcc compiler?
It seems that the gcc-3.3.4 compiler is marked as "testing" in the
Debian packages, hence you may want to try some of the gcc-2.9x
"stable" compilers (or the gcc-3.3.5 "unstable" if you feel more
adventurous).

FYI, on FreeBSD we don't have a problem with gcc-3.3.4.
