 State-Changed-From-To: open->closed

 State-Changed-When: Fri Jul  7 01:06:47 2000
 State-Changed-Why:
     This is not a bug. According to 14.6.4.1/3, the point-of-instantiation
     of AParent<int> precedes main(). The point of instantiation
     of AChild<AParent<int> > immediately precedes that point, so
     AParent<int> is an incomplete type when AChild<AParent<int> > is
     instantiated. As a result, it is ill-formed to refer to
     SharedType there.
