a step backwards from egcs-980214 to egcs-980221

[David C Binderman]

Hello there,

I find that the following code, not legal C++, causes egcs-980221 to
loop for an unreasonably long time (>8 hours), but egcs-980214 used to
finish in a very short time (<1 second).

Both versions produce an error message. 

structs
{
	int i;
};

Note the lack of whitespace between the reserved word 'struct' and 's'.

I'd be interested if anyone else can duplicate this new bug.

Regards
