 It's not clear to me that 6523 can be reduced to 4249, unless someone
 knows what *causes* the bug. Indeed, my example Foo1 class (see bug
 report 6523 abnove) is similar to 4249 example, IT actually compiles
 fine, it is the *Foo2* class example that causes compiler to crash on
 the g++ source file. That one does NOT reduce to 4249 (AFAICT). So it
 may well be a different bug. I would rather not close 6523 but just add
 a note in 4249 that the bugs may be related, unless someone knows for
 sure that they are the same (rather than just appear related).
