SOFTWARE:  g++ (gcc) version 2.2.2

BUG REPORT:  conditional operator ?: cannot handle const char * operand.

I discovered the following bug while recompiling groff using g++
version 2.2.2.

PROBLEM: compiling the following code produces the error
	try.cc: In function `int  main ()':
	try.cc:5: assignment between incompatible pointer types

EXAMPLE CODE:
main()
{
    const char *p = "abcd";
    const char *c;
    c = ((p == 0) ? "1234" : p);
}


Note: changing the declaration of p to char * will allow g++ to compile the
code without error.  No casting of any members has any affect on the problem.
