GNU/Linux 2.4.18 on a RedHat 8.0 distribution
>Description:
/* the following code causes gcc and g++ 3.2 to crash 
with an internal error. The code shouldn't compile
anyway, but neither should the compiler crash.
gcc 2.95.2 correctly reports the mistakes in the 
snippet */

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
        int nx = 2;
        void theerror(double a[][nx+1]);
        double** a = new double * [1];
        a[0] = new double [3];
        a[0][0] = 0;
        theerror(a);
        return 0;
}

void theerror(double a[][nx+1]) {
        a[0][0] = 1;
