Description
An attempt to value-initialize a heap object by doing new T() triggers an internal compiler error when T is a member function pointer type:

bcc32 c.cpp
Embarcadero C++ 6.21 for Win32 Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.
c.cpp:
Fatal F1004 c.cpp 7: Internal compiler error at 0x4a4cd4 with base 0x400000 in function main()
Fatal F1004 c.cpp 7: Internal compiler error in function main()

Note: This crash was encountered during the development of a value-initialization test, which is to be added to Boost Config: https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/config/test/boost_no_com_value_init.ipp
Steps to Reproduce:
class incomplete_class;
typedef int (incomplete_class::*member_function_ptr_type)(int);

int main()
{
  // Triggers internal compiler error:
  new member_function_ptr_type();
}

Same error occurs with old versions of C++Builder(e.g., BCB6).
