>Description:
Internal compiler error when, within a namespace, a class
inheriting from another class incorrectly attempts to
declare a fixed-size array using a static member of the
same class.  The code itself is illegal, so the problem can
be worked around by changing the code to be C++ compliant.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the following reduced test case:

namespace space {
  class c1 {};

  class c2 : public c1 {
    static const int N;
    int mt[N];
  };
}
