This is one of a series of reports of bugs found in the C++ compiler here at
warwick. We have release 1.0 of the software.

	Mishandling of constant pointers.
	Assignment of a constant pointer to a non-constant pointer
	not allowed.

EXAMPLE:

	char *const foo = "hello world";

	main()
	{
		char *cp = foo;
	}

OUTPUT:
	CC  const_ptr.c:
	"const_ptr.c", line 6: error: bad initializer type char * const  for cp ( char *  expected)
	1 error
