Problems with templates and gcc

Thanks for your bug report. I had a number of problems reproducing it.

It does work good? For me, it gives the error

a.cc:9: parse error before `{'
a.cc:12: semicolon missing after declaration of `Dummy<T,O>'

which I think is a correct error message. If I remove the semicolons,
it compiles fine.

In this declaration, how is the compiler supposed to know that you
refer to a method of Dummy? You need to put the class template name in
here somewhere, although I'm not sure about the syntax - please ask in
one of the C++ groups.
