Bug in pointer casting

I am using egcs-2.91.66 on Linux 2.2.5, on a PII machine. (Stock RedHat
6.0 installation)
In compiling some code, I have encountered an "internal compiler error"
when casting a void pointer to a pointer to a function taking one
argument and returning void. This happens inside a template class.
I have created a small test file isolating just that one bug.
I invoked egcs via 'egcs -c test.cpp'. The test.cpp file is copied here.
The error is reported for the line with the comment.
------------------------------------------------------
template<class T>
class cb {
public:
cb(void*, T);
void *ptr;
T val;
void operator()(void);
};
template<class T>
cb<T>::cb(void *f, T a)
{
ptr = f;
val = a;
}
template<class T>
void cb<T>::operator()(void)
{
void (*callback)(T) = (void (*)(T)) ptr; /* <-------- */
callback(val);
}
template cb<int>;
------------------------------------------------------
When invoking egcs with '-v', I get this:
