The test case can be simplified a little bit further:

namespace N {
struct S {
void foo ()

{ void (S::*pf)(N::S&); }

};
}

aCC: HP ANSI C++ B3910B A.03.73
Error 420: "t.cpp", line 3 # Syntax error in class or function declaration.
void foo ()

{ void (S::*pf)(N::S&); }

^
Error 231: "t.cpp", line 3 # The underlying type to which a pointer,
reference or pointer to member refers must not be a reference.
void foo ()

{ void (S::*pf)(N::S&); }

^^^^
