   I'm not sure if this posting belongs here but I encountered a somewhat
strange behavior when I defined a static data member in a derived class
that hides another static member of the base class.

   Basically, the compiler doesn't complain but I keep getting the base
class member instead of the desired one and as far as I can see there is no
way to access the data in the derived class.

   Obviously I can (and probably should) redesign my code but I'd still
like to know if this is a bug?   If not I'd be happy if someone could explain
what's going on.
