Version:           Subversion 3.4 branch revision 596958 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          g++ 4.1 
OS:                Linux

If I open a new file in my main development project and enter the following code:

void reduce(double a, double b)
{
   if (b * a < a);
}


I get an error indicator in the 4th line:

Error 3 17 ')' expected found '<'


If I do this on a newly created simple c++ project the error is the same.
