I was poking around through the front end source looking for a way to solve the problem, and noticed that there was some special code for const structs. Enabled it for const arrays, too, and problem solved.

In all beta announcements (DMC++ 8.48.9, DMC++ 8.48.5, etc.), the links all seem
to point to the same beta.zip file with the date on the most recent file being
5/11/06.  Even the " beta test C++ Compiler Version 8.48 (1,055,000 bytes)
(NEW!)" on the compiler download page points to this single, rather limited (9
compressed files) zip file.

Is there somewhere to go to get the full and current beta release?

What you do is simply download the current main release, unzip it, then unzip the beta release on top of it.

On one computer I've been keeping up with the beta releases pretty well and a call to __DMC_VERSION_STRING__ yields "Digital Mars C/C++ 8.48.9."  On another computer I'm trying to get current after a little bit of time between downloads and with the available beta.zip the same call yields "Digital Mars C/C++ 8.48.6."  In other words, incremental upgrades over time seem to have landed me in a different place than the current single patch.

Sorry for looking so closely at the teeth of this gift horse!  ;)
