Linux 2.2.16-3 i586
>Description:
G++ violates segments, when I from an undeclared member function call an undefined function.
I'm normally not that stoopid - it just occurred when isolating another ICE source! (honest!)
>How-To-Repeat:
Example code is:
-----------
class C {};

void C::a() {
    b();
}
-----------End-of-code
Compiler output is:
