This isn't actually an infinite loop; it's a sequence of recursive
instantiations which hit an error in each instantiation of the same function. 
Eventually it will hit the maximum template instantiation depth and stop, but
that takes a very long time with the default -ftemplate-depth.

It probably makes sense not to continue to instantiate a template after one
instantiation has produced an error.
