You mean, the default is always passed in if the default is _not_  specified 
twice?? That can only have been a compiler bug :-)

With gcc, the suggested way should always work (also in older versions), and 
it's a fact that newer gcc's depend on the default not being specified 
twice...

Anyway, specifying the default twice only creates more possible errors (as 
you have two values you can misspell while typing *g*)
