Bug or C++ standard: std::vector<double> v ( 20 , 0 ) does not work

[Pavel Ganelin <pganelin at rth dot com>]

the standard, but
==============================================================
#include <vector>
std::vector<double> v ( 20 , 0 ) ;
==============================================================
