member-template bug in egcs

[Michael A. Benzinger]

Klaus-Georg,

The code is correct.  Member templates are valid according to
Bjarne Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming Language".  The compilers,
including Microsoft's Visual C++ 5.0, are still to catch up on this.
Using this compiler, I get the same error as you.  I would suspect
that this is either a bug in egcs or this functionality has not yet
been implemented.
