>Description:
The wrong constructor (namely DD(int)) is called in the attached program.  Apparently gcc does not notice the default argument.  This bug did not exist in egcs 1.1b. It was apparently introduced in gcc-2.9x, and still remains in gcc-3.0.

>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the above program and run it.  It prints out int ct called.
>Fix:
The fix is to move the default argument into the first declaration of the constructor.  But this is not a language requirement.
