gcc 2.95.3 problem with pr_exec.c - death message bug

[Forest 'LordHavoc' Hale]

Mercury wanted me to post this to the list, so...

# no problems:
./configure CC=gcc-cvs --disable-werror
make clean
make
nq/twilight-nq -window +map e4m1
(run off and shoot the explosive box near the gold key door, at point blank)
btal[ef][f2][e4]h[e1][f6][ef][e3] blew up

  blew up

This problem also happens exactly the same way in darkplaces.  Though 
darkplaces often has much more bogus strings showing up than merely a 
blank name.

It may not happen in qwsv, I have not checked...  qwsv uses a very 
different approach to engine strings (like player names).

The gcc 2.95.3 bug occurs with or without optimizations in darkplaces 
(proving it is not an optimizer bug).
