Actually this is not an Infinite loop but the time to find out that the "template instantiation depth 
exceeds maximum of " (the high number for 3.x where x is not 0) is just a long time.  This is might 
be a dup of another bug also.  I am not going to mark this as a regression even though the max 
"template instantiation depth" was lower for 3.0.4 (50) or 2.95.3 (17) and it reject this code very 
fast (except they both ICE at the end).
