>Description:
The following fragment causes gcc to crash:

--- foo.cpp begins
template <class PA> inline void foo(PA* dummy)
{
  typename PA::B;
}
--- foo.cpp ends
--- output begins
%gcc foo.cpp
foo.cpp: In function `void foo(PA *)':
foo.cpp:3: Internal compiler error.
foo.cpp:3: Please submit a full bug report.
foo.cpp:3: See <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/faq.html#bugreport> for instructions.
-- output ends

I did not include any log/attachments - because the problem is very straight-forward and does not need any includes or compilation flags.

The problem looks very similar to bug c++/2458 titled
"typename within function template cause internal compiler error".
I still post it because the scenario is much simpler (and maybe it _is_ something different, after all...) 
>How-To-Repeat:
Run 'gcc foo.cpp', where 'foo.cpp' contains:
--- foo.cpp begins
template <class PA> inline void foo(PA* dummy)
{
  typename PA::B;
}
--- foo.cpp ends
