no error message when non-existent constructor is called.

Michael et. al. --

G++ 1.35.0 on a uvax3.

Consider the following program:

--------------------------------------------------
#include <stream.h>

struct foo {
 public:
  foo();
 private:
  int i;
};

foo::foo() { cout << "Hello.\n"; }

void main() {
  foo f(7);
}
--------------------------------------------------

This should give an error message, because there is no "foo"
constructor that takes an integer argument.  Instead if gives no
argument.  Even more insidious, it does not call the default
constructor -- when run, the above program prints nothing.

Thanks.  Ad astra.
