>Description:
When calling a static function of an explicitely instantiated template structure enclosed in another template structure, the wrong template is being instantiated.
>How-To-Repeat:
compile and run the attached code.

It should print (as with Visual C++ 6.0):

calling function<3> -> in function<3>: l = 1, r = 2
calling function<3> -> in function<3>: l = 2, r = 1
calling function<100> -> in function<100>: l = 1, r = 2
calling function<100> -> in function<100>: l = 2, r = 1

However, if it prints:

calling function<3> -> in function<1>: l = 1, r = 2
calling function<3> -> in function<2>: l = 2, r = 1
calling function<100> -> in function<1>: l = 1, r = 2
calling function<100> -> in function<2>: l = 2, r = 1

Then the wrong function template it being instantiated.
