>Description:
	I was attempting to get the testcase in 
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=1018969434.13641.0.nnrp-07.3e31d362%40news.demon.co.uk
to work.

Uncommenting either of the usages of has_subscript_operator in main causes 
a crash:

sub.cpp: In instantiation of `has_subscript_operator<int>':
sub.cpp:13:   instantiated from here
sub.cpp:6: internal error: Segmentation fault

The first line is obviously illegal (a typo I made while I was playing
with the testcase), but I believe that the second should be OK.
>How-To-Repeat:

template<typename T>
class has_subscript_operator
{
private:
  template <int> struct helper {};
  template <class U> static int foo( helper<sizeof( &U::operator[] )> * );
public:
  int value() { return 0; };
};
  
int main() {
//  return has_subscript_operator<int>::value;
  return has_subscript_operator<int>().value();
}

	g++ -Wall sub.cc
>Fix:
Removing the unused template functions (which are unused in this 
example) from the class avoids the crash.
