	You may not consider this a bug, it's really just an
inappropriate error message.  The following program
-----------------------------


int barf() { return 1;}
foo(int = barf) {}  // line 4

main(){}
-----------------------------
when compiled with g++ 1.36.1, gives the error message

new.cc:4: sorry, not implemented: that operation not supported for default parameters

which is the error it used to give when I would use new to make a
default parameter.  Note that the error is really a type mismatch,
caused by typing "barf" instead of "barf()".  I had been thinking
there was still some kind of problem with using new to make default
parameters, but I hadn't been able to nail it down.  Now I understand
why it was so difficult to isolate.
