Looks like a compiler bug (the 2.7.x series of gcc had many serious  
problems with C++). I don't have the C++ specs at hand, but I'm sure that  
it's not that stupid ;)

BTW: I'll test GCC 2.8.1 this weekend. According to the description it  
matches more or less the current ECGS - and thus has much better C++  
support than the "old" gcc.
