Default template parameters in 2.95

gcc version gcc-2.95 19990708 (prerelease)

I use a Checked_iter nearly verbatim to C++ Prog Lang, 3rd Ed, Sec
19.3.  Here is part of my class declaration:

template <class Cont, class Iterator = typename Cont::iterator >
class Checked_iter : public iterator_traits< Iterator >
{
public:
   typedef Iterator iterator_type;
   typedef Checked_iter<Cont,Iterator> self;

protected:
   iterator_type current;  //iterator for current position
   Cont* c;  //pointer to current container

public:
.
.
.
   friend bool operator==(const self& left, const self& right)
   { return left.c==right.c && left.current==right.current; }
.
.
.
};

I am getting a new error (Since egcs 1.1.2):

iterators.h: In function `bool operator ==(const
Checked_iter<Cont,Iterator> &, const Checked_iter<Cont,Iterator> &)`
iterators.h:32: default argument for template parameter in function
template `operator ==(const Checked_iter<Cont,Iterator> &, const
Checked_iter<Cont,Iterator> &)`

Is it now a problem to define this friend function within the template class?
