ANSI C++ had a late change regarding the scoping rules for variables
declared as part of a "for" statement. I forget the specific details; I
remember reading an article in C/C++ Users Journal which discussed it.

That's just plain bad code on your part. Either you meant to write

	(*nodebufstat).figure = -1;

or you meant

	nodebufstat->figure = -1;

The error message is quite clear; it thought you were looking for a member
variable, 'figure', in the object 'nodebufstat'; unfortunately, that object
is a pointer to a node struct, not itself a node struct. You got the
dereference operator in the wrong place. (Check the precedence rules for '*'
as the dereference operator versus '.' as the member selection operator.)
