As far as I can tell, the following fragment should be (syntactically)
correct:

	class zot {
		int *x;
	public:
		zot( zot & );
		~zot() { delete x; }
	};

	void zot::zot( zot &z ) {
		x = new (int);
		*x = *z.x;
	}

When I compile it, I get:

	ccc  zot.cc:
	"zot.cc", line 11: error: zot ::zot () with return type
	1 error

It works fine if zot::zot() is left undeclared (leaving 'void' out).
What am I missing?  Or is this a bug?
