Re:nested template misclassified

[Larry Evans <cppljevans at earthlink dot net>]

Included below is a much simplified version of the problem I posted on
26 May.   The problem does not occur when  B is a namespace is used,
but does occur when B is a struct.

I've looked at the code in pt.c and decl.c for several days now and
cannot figure how to solve this problem.  I'd appreciate any more
documentation (than that in source code)on how the tree data
structure (in gcc/tree.h and gcc/cp/cp-tree.h) works.
