The following code causes my g++ 1.37.0 to crash with the error
't3.cc:12: Segmentation violation'
'g++: Program cc1plus got fatal signal 11.'

--- cut here ---
typedef eek void (*)() ;

class foo {
public:
    foo(void (*f)()) ;
} ;

foo::foo(eek f)
{
}
--- second cut ---

Can someone please verify this and, if possible, check any later
versions of g++.

P.S. I Known this is not valid c++ code (should be typedef void (*eek)()).

Could someone also shed some light on the following error message;

In method CategoryEditor::CategoryEditor (class CategoryList *):
bad argument 1 for function `EventPushButton::EventPushButton
(const char *, auto void (*)(class Event &))'
(type was void (class CategoryEditor ::*)(class Event &))
in base initialization for class `EventPushButton'

In particular what does the `auto` mean and why I might be getting
the error.
