>Description:
The bug was verified to be still present in yesterday's
CVS (Oct 12): 

If you compile the following code: 
  struct A
  {
      int : (-1);
  };
you get the (correct) _error_ 
  negative width in bit-field `A::<anonymous>'

Now, if you compile
  struct A
  {
    int : (sizeof(int)-5);
  };
then you just get the _warning_
warning: width of `A::<anonymous>' exceeds its type
which is incorrect. 

As a result, sizeof(A) turns out to be 536870912
(500Mb). 
>How-To-Repeat:
Just compile the four-liner above. 
>Fix:
Should be fairly trivial, but I don't know.
