The code example below gets the message

manip.cpp(6) : warning C4270: 'initializing' :
    do not initialize a non-const 'class ::__SMANIP_int __far &'
    with a non-lvalue 'class ::__SMANIP_int ' function return

from Microsoft C/C++ 8.00c.  Is there anything wrong with the
code, or is this just a bug in the compiler?

#include <iostream.h>
#include <iomanip.h>

void foo()
{
    cout << setw(10) << "XX" << endl;
}


[I apologize in advance for posting this question here.  I tried
comp.lang.c++ but got no response.  I get a best a 50% success rate
in getting any answer at all on that group, and I suspect it's
because the group has grown so large and is so diverse that it
needs to be split.]
