 The following program fails to compile with g++ 2.95.2. This causes many
 Perennial tests to fail.

 Regards
 Martin


 $ cat test.cpp

 namespace N {

 template <class T>
 void foo (T) { }
 }

 template void N::foo<int> (int);

 int main () { }

 $ g++ test.cpp
 test.cpp:9: `N::foo(int)' should have been declared inside `N'
