g++bug.cpp: In function `int main()':

>How-To-Repeat:
namespace Foo
{
    template<typename _T>
    void test() {
    }
}

int main()
{
    Foo::template test<int>();
}
>Fix:
Workaround is to use Foo::test<int>(), instead of 
Foo::template test<int>

However the other proprietary compiler I am using ALWAYS needs
the template keyword, hence its a severe bug for me from a code
management perspective (last thing i want is #ifdefs)
