>Description:
g++ gets a parse error for valid code, under the following
set of precise conditions:
1) a method template is defined in a templated base class
2) a class template derives from the base class, the base
class being given the same template parameters as specified
for the derived class, i.e.:
template <int Dim>
class Test : public TestBase<Dim>
3) inside the derived class, a call is made to the method
template, using the func<...>(...) syntax for choosing a
specialization, i.e.: 'int sz = subsize<2>();'
This call generates a parse error.

$ g++ -c templbug.C
templbug.C: In method `int Test<Dim>::size2 () const':
templbug.C:16: parse error before `)'
