Internal Compiler Error 56 on Template instantantiaon

[Henner Zeller <hzeller at axent dot com>]

Hi,
I am using 
   - gcc 2.95.3 ( from 17. May 2000 RedHat package, compiled
                  from source)
   - Linux 2.2.14 with libc 2.1.3 and binutils 2.9.5.0.22
  
The following source produces an error (see attachment). In short: getting
a pointer to a static template member function of a class leads to 
an internal compiler error 56. 

The complete output of 'gcc -v bug.cc' is:

BTW: The 2.95 gcc rocks! You're doing a truly wonderful job, 
     keep up the good work!!

int main() {
  A::foo<int>();                // ok
  void (*fptr)() = A::foo<int>; // Compiler error 56
  fptr();
