Walter,

The following program produces a Fatal error "internal error blockopt 485".

#include <limits>

class foo
{
    public:
        static double InvalidDouble;
        static long InvalidLong;
};

// The error is on the next line
double foo::InvalidDouble=std::numeric_limits<double>::max();
long foo::InvalidLong=std::numeric_limits<long>::max();

int main()
{
}

I'm running DM C++ 8.39, STL Port 4.5.3.

I've worked around the problem by using the macros in <limits.h>, but the above code is valid and should have compiled.
