[970929] Recursive copy constructor

[Chip Salzenberg]

Given this code, 970929 generates code for Derived::Derived(const Derived &)
that calls itself:

    class Base {
      public:
        Base() : xi(0) {}
      private:
        int xi;
    };

    class Derived : public Base {
      public:
        Derived(const Derived &d);
        void assign(Base b);
    };

    Derived::Derived(const Derived &d)
    {
        assign(d);
    }

I'd say that Derived::Derived should be calling Base::Base(Base &) (as
implicitly defined), but not itself (Derived::Derived(const Derived &)),
in order to create the parameter for assign().
