Subject: [Caml-list] Typing error results in fatal error.

Hi list

Is there a reason why the following code

> class type a = object inherit a end

 (in OCaml 4.00.1, at least) results in a 

> Fatal error: exception Assert_failure("typing/env.ml", 629, 54)

in either the toplevel or the compiler, instead of a simple typing error?

Just curious.
