C++ - Internal compiler error - 2.95.1 - invalid code using templates

[Patrick Smith]

gcc 2.95.1 reported an internal compiler error, so I'm
reporting to to you.

Note that the code it was trying to compile has an error;
on the line it complains about, List::operator= should be
List<char>::operator=.  With this correction applied, the
code compiles.

I am using Red Hat Linux 6.0.
