The compiler will let me instantiate a class defined as abstract.  The following
code compiles and runs fine!?!

abstract class Test1
{
this()
{ 
printf("How can this be?\n");
}
}


int main ( char [] [] args ) 
{
Test1 t1 = new Test1();
return 1;
}


This code compiles and runs ok outputting the message in the abstract class
constructor.  I believe this code should fail at compilation?
