I appreciate that but surly it should not cause the compiler to bomb and
output a corrupted object file.

The compiler crashing and giving a garbage object file is definitely a bug. As someone from Metrowerks has posted here I guess they read it too, but no reply from them. It may be worth sending them a copy of some code that causes the compiler to crash, I guess they have a tech support email address.
