g++ 2.95.2 bug report

[John Pedretti <pedretti at roguewave dot com>]

Hi,
This is a g++ 2.95.2 bug report. Compiling the code below causes an internal
compiler error. The important points are: only occurs in namespace scope
(namespace x in the example), in a partially specialized class (foo<bool,U>)
that contains a nested class (bar) that declares the unspecialized
containing class (foo) friend. 
 
I believe this code compiled on a previous version of the compiler (2.95.1
?).
 
Thanks,
John
 
===================================
 
% cat test.cpp
namespace x {
 
template <class A, class B>
class foo { };
 

template <class U>
class foo <bool, U> {
    class bar {
        template <class A, class B>
        friend class foo;
    };
};
 
}
