This bug seems to be fixed in the patch-01 for the Sun C++ 5.9.
Without the patch the only known workaround is to do not use debug
mode.

Patches for various platform can be found here:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/show.do?target=patchpage

Enter following patch number to the "PatchFinder" and press "Find Patch" button.

124865-01	Linux
