System: Linux falcon 2.2.18-SMP #1 SMP Wed Jan 24 12:30:30 GMT 2001 i686 unknown
Architecture: i686

	
host: i686-pc-linux-gnu
build: i686-pc-linux-gnu
target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
configured with: /home/adrian/gcc/gcc-3.0/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-threads
>Description:

Apoligies if this bug is the "Two stage lookup in templates is not implemented." mentioned on the gcc web site, but my c++ isn't that good.

g++ fails to compile and hangs with the following error:-
adrian@falcon:/home/adrian/code/c++/testbed> g++ -g -ansi -pedantic it.cpp -o it
In file included from it.cpp:5:
Table.h:36: syntax error before `;' token
Table.h: In constructor `Table<T>::Table()':
Table.h:14: parse error before `;' token
(hangs here)

if it helps here is the process from the process table:-

The following 2 source causes this error:-
