Finally, it seems that someone has reproduced the problem, on a different platform
too:

    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2002-01/msg00030.html

Gaby, what do you think?

I have real trouble understading what's going on.

If we have to prepare a compact testcase for Nathan in order for him to fix the
front-end I don't even know where to begin with: notwithstanding your tutorials
around the world, to date template-metaprogramming-based code is still mostly
black-magic for me... :-(

Thanks,
