Bug in egcs-1.1

[Martin Rehwald]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

i extracted a line from the kde-project that causes the egcs compiler to quit
it's job. this can be reproduced compiling the following "program":

int main(int i)
{
  char* s=new char[i+1](' ');
}                  

the result is:

egcserrtst2.cpp: In function `int main(int)':
egcserrtst2.cpp:3: request for member `__ct' in `*{anon}', which is of non-aggregate type `char'        

compiling with GNU C++ version egcs-2.91.57 19980901 (egcs-1.1 release) (i586-linux) 

this problem does not occur with earlier versions of egcs.
as i am no expert in c++, i don't know, whether this code is no more supported
by some C++-ANSI standard. if this is the problem -- sorry having disturbed
you. but in this case the compiler should complain about non-standard c++ or
something like that and quit with a syntax error.

i think, further output (like that of the -v option) is not necessary.
i can reproduce the problem on another linux-system, totaly different from mine
(no glibc etc.)
