Thank you for the great information.  Is there a version where the significant 
bug was fixed so that I might be able to determine how bad our issue is?

Yes, this was a significant issue before gcc-4.x.

Upgrade and rebuild.  2.95 is very old; at leastr one significant bug in the 
error modeling has been fixed since.
