C++ initialization problem with nested constructors

[Stuart Brooks]

I have picked up what I think could be a parsing bug on gcc 3.3.3 to do 
with nested constructors being evaluated as a function definition. The 
stripped down code below fails to compile. I've had a look through 
Stroustrup's 'The C++ Programming Language' and googled around this but 
nothing jumped out at me. Constructing using = works.

I was wondering if this is an error on my part, or is it a problem with 
the parser?
