Subject: An oddity re array args

  Re this short program with an error (name omitted after `double'):-
int zxcvbnm(int i, int j, double[i][j]){int k; k=2; return 42;}
  When I compiled it (with djgpp) as C++, the compiler swore at me thus:-

t$$.cc:1: `i' was not declared in this scope
t$$.cc:1: `j' was not declared in this scope
Segmentation violation in pointer 0x00000008 at d8:5cebc

EXCEPTION OCCURRED!  Information dumped to core file:
    "t$gccdbg"

  but compiled as C the compiler said nothing.
