/* gcc 1.36.93 & g++ 1.36.4 bug 900209_02

   Both gcc and g++ reject the following code with the error messages
   shown below.  I believe that the errors are uncalled for.  I believe
   that this code is perfectly legal ANSI C.

   This example was hacked down from a much larger program.

   I consider this a serious problem because this type of code may be generated
   automatically from Cfront 2.0.  Thus, this may be a difficult problem to
   work around, since I do not have direct control over the output generated
   by Cfront.
