[Bug c++/30716] recursive templates compilation fault

Ahh, exploding recursive templates...
For future reference, you could limit the recursion depth explicitly, using
-ftemplate-depth-n

from a gcc-3.4.0 man page:
Set the maximum instantiation depth for template classes to n.  A limit on the
template instantiation depth is needed to detect endless recursions during
template class instantiation.  ANSI/ISO C++ conforming programs must not rely
on a maximum depth greater than 17.

I think 42 would seem more appropriate than 17, but that is for The Committee
to decide.  :)
