>Description:
When compiling a C++ program containing a template function
with a template function as a type parameter, g++ fails
with the following error message:

$ g++ stllist.C -o stllist
stllist.C: In function `int main()':
stllist.C:14: Internal compiler error 980715.
stllist.C:14: Please submit a full bug report to `egcs-bugs@egcs.cygnus.com'.
stllist.C:14: See <URL:http://egcs.cygnus.com/faq.html#bugreport> for details.

The line triggering the error is as follows:

for_each(intlist.begin(), intlist.end(), printer<int>);
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile attached file.
>Fix:
As a workaround, insert an ampersand before the template
function:

  ...
  for_each(intlist.begin(), intlist.end(), &printer<int>);
  ...
