Description of problem:
When compiling a piece of code that use a static construction with a static template member function without referencing the class to which this function is a member, the compiler produce an internal error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gcc-3.2.3-47

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile the enclosed code
2.
3.
  

Actual Results:  The enclosed code does not compile, but generates an internal error from the compiler.

Expected Results:  Either the compiler should (on line 17) accept the newInstance function as the function in class C or it should complain about the function not being declared in the current (global) scope.

Additional info:

The code compiles fine on my i686 linux computer with gcc (GCC) 3.3.5 on Debian unstable.
