Compiler Error

[John Paden]

Hello-
	I found this by accident... I was playing around with pointers to
members.  The example is very short so I included everything in this
message.  The code doesn't do anything and shouldn't compile, but this
error might still indicate a problem that would be worth solving.

Hope this is useful,
John Paden
