Simple.  Compiler bug.  We noticed problems with nested class
declarations in VC1.  When reported to people at Microsoft we couldn't
find anyone who could understand the problem.  

Invariably, after waiting on hold for a half hour then describing the
problem to 3 different people each time a little faster and a little
louder, conversations with support representatives would end with "So
if it works when you don't nest your classes, maybe you shouldn't be
nesting your classes.."

Just makes you spew out "Have a nice day" as you slam the receiver and
start shouting obscenities as a client walks by who has just
unknowingly spent a forture for no good reason.
