>Description:
g++ segfaults if you correctly do a forward declaration of a class, wich was
previoulsy declared within a template class. Maybe it is not even legal code.
>How-To-Repeat:
compile this as t.cc with "g++ -save-temps t.cc" :

---
template <typename T>
class class1{class class2;};

template <typename T>
class class1<T>::class2;

int main(){return 0;}
---

to produce this t.ii:

---
# 1 "t.cc"
template <typename T>
class class1{class class2;};

template <typename T>
class class1<T>::class2;

int main(){return 0;}
---

and this error:

---
t.cc:5: Internal error: Segmentation fault
---


>Fix:
I do not see any need for such a forward declaration at all.
