template instatiation ICE new in 1998-07-07

[Nathan Sidwell <nathan at cs dot bris dot ac dot uk>]

Hi, snapshot 1998-07-07 has an internal compiler error, which was not
previously present (I'm not entirely sure when, but 1.0.3a is ok)

Here's the code,
-- begin code
extern "C" {
typedef unsigned int    size_t;
}

extern "C++" {
inline void *operator new(size_t, void *place) throw() { return place; }
}
template<class T> class BigArray
{
  size_t  num;
  T *array;
public:
  BigArray()   
     throw()  ;
  ~BigArray()  
     throw()  ;
public:
  void Remove(
    size_t ix) 
     throw()  ;
};
template<class T> void BigArray<T>::Remove(size_t ix)
   throw()
{
    T *ptr = &array[ix];
    size_t  pos;
    ptr->~T();
    for(pos = num - 1 - ix; pos--; ptr++)
      {
        (void)new(ptr) T(ptr[1]);
        ptr[1].~T();
      } 
  num--; 
  return;
}
template  class BigArray<char*>  ;
--end code

I trust this is sufficient information to reproduce the problem.
