Please describe the problem:
I have a file that defines public static const variables which are instances  
of objects, so they look like:

    public static const IpAddress ipv4_broadcast =
      new IpAddress.from_string("255.255.255.255");

My guess is that they're not supported that way, but the compiler catches a   
SIGSEGV when compiling the code.  If I remove all of the assignments that are
similar to that, the compiler no longer crashes.

The source for the file itself is available at:

 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mtrausch/%2Bjunk/libfastcgi-vala/annotate/head%3A/src/utils/IpAd$

Short URL to the same resource, in case the link breaks:

 http://is.gd/1pGkR

I had to run vala in a debugger to produce the SIGSEGV.  Not entirely sure    
about why the problem happened that way, though.              


Steps to reproduce:
Fetch the project sources: bzr branch lp:~mtrausch/+junk/fastcgi-vala
Configure (autogen.sh) and try to build the sources.

Actual results:
SIGSEGV

Expected results:
Error and graceful exit

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
Will attach the vala binary and a core file from that binary from my x86-64 system so more post-mortem can be done.  Problem is 100% reproducible with vala git master, so if core/executable in different format is needed, simply replicate the conditions as per above.
