Internal compiler error (with invalid namespace code)

[bjornw@fairplay.no]

Hi there!

The following simple, yet buggy code generates internal compiler error. 
btw, is it possible for the compiler to inform me about where in the code
the compiler gets an error? Or at least give some hint about which lines it
were successful to compile so that in cases where the compiler just stops
working I can easier find the offending code?

--------------------
namespace ns {};
struct    some_struct {};

int
main()
{
   some_struct s;

   s.ns; // using a namespace variable after a struct, woes
}
