This problem should not exist in the next release of gcc.

In the future please report all g++ bugs to the

        bug-g++@prep.ai.mit.edu

list, thanks.  If they are back-end bugs, they can be reported here,
but please let us know if you think the problem is in the back-end.

You don't need to resubmit this one.

> I am having a problem with g++ 2.2.1 when overiding the operators
> new and delete.  I have tried to illustrate this problem with a
> simple example.  The problem is that the compiler fails to supply
> the right number of arguments to a call to overiden delete which has
> been defined with two arguments.  See section r.12.5, page 577 of
> Stroustrup, "The C++ Programming Language", 2nd Edition.
