Compiler error 40 in v.2.91.66, structs in structs

["Daniel Weber" <djweber at alum dot mit dot edu>]

When compiling the file bug.cpp, the compiler generates an "Internal
compiler error 40 message."

My bug is clear--I use "ip.item" where I should use "ip.i".

If I try using "int" instead of "item" I do not get this error.
