g++ (version 2.7) gives you this warning:
Warning:  ANSI C++ forbids initialization of member `nn'
it compiles AND links fine, however.
the error in the linker is because of the "const" keyword...

i think this isn't a bug, because the warning tells you that
you're doing something not ANSI-compliant...
