>Description:
A do-while loop that has the following error with the ; 

do{

}
while(x>0;);

produces the segmentation fault error and "please generate 
a bug report" message.  
>How-To-Repeat:
compile the program,

>Fix:
Obviously, don't put a ; where it doesn't belong.  I'm 
sending this so that is some future version, it'll be
cleaned up.
>Release-Note:

>Unformatted:
 >g++ -c bug.c
 
 This program doesn't do anything.  It just illustrates that 
 this coding error produces these messages.  Presumably the
 compiler shoud trap this coding error and not kick out the
 segmentation fault and the request for a report.
