I ran into this one recently...is this fixed in 2.0?

    #include <stdio.h>
    class Base {
	    long l;
    public:
	Base();
    };
    class D1 : public Base {
    public:
	D1();
    };
    class D2 : public Base {
    public:
	D2();
    };

    main(int, char** argv)
    {
	int i = atoi(argv[1]);

	// This line doesn't work
	Base* b = (i & 1) ? new D1() : new D2();

	// this does work:
	Base *bb;
	if (i & 1) bb = new D1;
	else bb = new D2;
    }

By the way, if some kind sole has this fixed in 1.2.1 and wants
to send me the diff's that would be quite swell :-)
