Two bugs in g++:

1.  If a derived class is accidently (and incorrectly, of course) declared
    more than once and the base class from which the multiply declared
    class is derived contains a virtual function, the compile will eventually
    dump core with a segmentation violation.  It appears that the combination
    of a virtual function in the base class with the multiple declaration is
    significant.  The following code still printed the correct error messages,
    but did not dump core when the "virtual" keyword was removed.

2.  Hardly worth noting:  g++ -v prints "gcc version ... (based on GCC ...)".
    It seems that "g++ version ... (based on GCC ...)" is intended.
