Shouldn't this code output 1234?  It outputs 0 for me.  I used to write
b a<float>::b1 instead of template <> b a<float>::b1, but
I tried this after seeing comment 3 on bug 11930.  I can even
change the constructor of b into a non-default one and it still compiles...

using g++-3.4 (GCC) 3.4 20030907 (experimental)

#include <iostream>
struct b {
  b() { m = 1234; }; int m;
};
template <class T>
  struct a { static b b1; };
template struct a<float>;
template <> b a<float>::b1;
int main() {
  std::cout << a<float>::b1.m << std::endl;
};
