FYI This is a Cygnus compiler release for the IA-64 linux (formerly Trillian)
project.  This is essentially a January 3, 2000 snapshot with a very large
amount of patches applied to it, including the entire IA-64 back end.  It
is known to have some bugs in the C++ front end.  This does not appear to be
one of them though.

I can reproduce the same problem using current sources on an x86, so either
this is invalid C++, or a legitimate C++ bug report that hasn't been fixed yet.
