The general form of this bug seems (to my untrained eye) to be that when a
static member of a template class is declared correctly but initialised
incorrectly, GCC gets confused.

I've found two ways of triggering what appears to be the same bug -

        * A *

By causing an error with the line:
	static int n = 1;
gcc does the following:

test.cc:6: ISO C++ forbids in-class initialization of non-const static member `
   n'
test.cc: In instantiation of `foo<1>':
test.cc:17:   instantiated from here
test.cc:6: ISO C++ forbids in-class initialization of non-const static member `
   foo<1>::n'
g++-3.2: Internal error: Segmentation fault (program cc1plus)

please see /usr/share/doc/debian/bug-reporting.txt.


        * B *

By causing an error with the line:
	static const int n = unsigned char(1);
gcc does the following:

$ g++-3.2 -Wall test.cc
test.cc:7: parse error before `char'
g++-3.2: Internal error: Segmentation fault (program cc1plus)
