gcc (GCC) 4.0.1 20050831 (Red Hat 4.0.1-12) 
and the system is;
Linux xpc.home.erwinrol.com 2.6.12-1.1519_FC5 #1 SMP Sat Aug 27 13:54:40 EDT 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Its not the wrong compiler, i am sure about that.

And the problem is not that the member variables are initialized inline,
the problem is that std::string::npos is not constant, and so can not be
used to initialize static inline initialization.
