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.

DESCRIPTION:
	Mishandling of dynamic creation of an array of structs which have
	a constructor.
	Type cast missing for return value of _vec_new.

EXAMPLE:

	struct foo {
		foo() {}
	};

	main()
	{
		foo *bp = new foo[42];	// Oops...
	}

OUTPUT:
	CC  buggy.c:
	cc   buggy.i -lC
	"buggy.c", line 14: warning: illegal pointer combination
