Among the bugs fixed by the flexible array patch (r231665) was c++/68490. I forgot to include a test for this bug in the commit so I'm adding it via the attached patch.
(Please let me know if adding new passing tests is considered trivial and I don't need to request approval for such things.) Thanks Martin
