No problem. I might only be 22, but my first summer vacation job was testing
and debugging code for Unit4Agresso (then just Unit4). And as a long time MS
beta tester I know what is needed for a good repro scenario. Besides, I like
doing this kind of thing, it's good exercise and I always want to know
exactly what's going wrong just for my own peace of mind. ^_^

That's good to know. You know, I'm getting the impression from you that
Whidbey will be some kind of developer heaven. Is it even still possible to
find a bug in 2003 that's not already fixed in Whidbey? ^_~ And that so
early in the development stage... I can hardly wait!

<G> Well, yes - I've got a number of bugs logged against Whidbey that are
also present in 2003. As you say, there's still quite a few months before
Whidbey ships - maybe some of those bugs will yet get fixed before Whidbey
ships.
In any case, Whidbey will rock, I'm sure of that - especially if you want to
do managed development in C++.

Steal my thunder, would you!? :-) Maybe I just need to learn to finish
writing functions... I think I get bored and move onto something else.
Right, hangover coffee required. If anyone ever gets/works out an
explanation for this, let me know.

It's just a bug in the compiler - what more explanation are you looking for?
