 c++/95 is about the following:
 -----------------------------------------
 template <class T> class X {    static int *i;   };
 class Y {};
 int *X<Y>::i; // = 0;
 -----------------------------------------
 
 With gcc2.95, this puts the static variable into different segments, 
 depending on whether we have the initialization I commented out, or not. 
 On Linux, I get either
 00000004 C _t1X1Z1Y.i      # without initialization
 00000000 D _t1X1Z1Y.i      # with initialization
 
 This difference has gone with present CVS and 3.2. I always get
 00000000 B _ZN1XI1YE1iE
 
 Jeff, this report is against HPUX which I cannot test, but you are the 
 maintainer of this port. Can you test the above test case with/without the 
 initializer, and if you the symbol is defined in both cases, can you 
 please close this report?
 
 Thanks
   Wolfgang
