Strange template behaviour with gcc 3.4 (20030813 and 20031001)

[Mihnea Balta]

Hello,

I'd like to know if this is a bug in the experimental gcc I'm using or if I'm 
doing something wrong:

template<class A, class B>
struct pair_t{
    A   first;
    B   second;
};

template<class A, class B>
class something_t : public pair_t<A, B>{
public:
    void strange(A i){
        first = i;
    }
};

int main(){
    return 0;
}

 The compiler reports that "first" is undeclared in the someting_t::strange() 
method. I tried with gcc 2.95.3 and it compiles fine, and unfortunately I 
don't have access to any stable gcc 3.x compiler to try on that too. Is this 
syntax in violation of any part of the standards, or is it just a bug in gcc?

PS: if this has been already reported as a bug for gcc 3.4, I appologise but I 
couldn't find it.
