Compiler: g++ 1.36.1
Machine: Sun 3/50 running OS 4.0
Severity: low
[please follow up by email as I am not a subscriber to bug-g++]
The following code produces an error message at a line far removed
from the actual error, making the bug incredibly difficult to find.
I just spent about four hours extracting this from a larger file,
trying to isolate the error.
I enclose the source file and the result of `g++ -c -v'.
Sorry, my site doesn't have 1.36.3 installed yet.
