Template function specialization

[Ryszard Kabatek]

Trying to compile the source below I get 
the folowing error messages:
spec.cc:16: non-template used as template
spec.cc:16: syntax error before `{' token

If I change the line 16 
from
std::swap(MySpace::X& lhs, MySpace::X& rhs)
to
std::swap<>(MySpace::X& lhs, MySpace::X& rhs)
the source compiles well.

As far as I know the original version should compile.
I am supposing a compiler bug. I am right?

I am using gcc version 3.0 20010402 (prerelease)
on RedHat Linux 7.0, PIII.
