>Environment:
System: Linux pulu.cs.tut.fi 2.4.9 #1 Fri Aug 24 11:24:56 EEST 2001 i686 unknown
Architecture: i686

	
host: i686-pc-linux-gnu
build: i686-pc-linux-gnu
target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
configured with: ../gcc-3.0.1/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-3.0.1 --enable-shared --enable-threads --enable-cpp --with-cpu=i686
>Description:
	The following small program gives a parse error, although it's legal.
	Curiously enough, the error only occurs inside a template function. If
	the same code is inside a normal function, no error occurs.
>How-To-Repeat:
	The following program:
-----------
class X
{
public:
  template<typename T>
  void m();
};

void f()
{
  X x;
  X* p = &x;
  p->m<int>();
}

template<typename Q>
void t(Q q)
{
  X x;
  X* p = &x;
  p->m<int>(); // This line gives a parse error
}
-------------
gives the following error when compiled with -v:

I also tried with a quite recent CVS snapshot and the same problem occurred.
