What bug?  The above code *is* wrong, and the compiler rightfully
complains about it.  The code below is the right one, and the compiler
compiles it without any warnings (I've just tried):

	char line[4][2] = { {2,1}, {2,1}, {3,4}, {2,1} };

So what error do you want to ignore, and why do you think the compiler
might have a bug here?
