>Description:

In the program below, the call to d0_Object::activate() does not call
the method requested.  Instead, it does a virtual call to activate() ---
meaning that this program, when run, goes into an infinite recursion.
If i change it so that d0_DBObject is not a template class, then the
program behaves as expected.

$ g++ -o x x.cc
$ ./x
act
act
act
act
act
act
act
... and so on ...

>How-To-Repeat:

----------------------
extern "C" int printf (...);

struct d0_Object
{
  virtual void activate() {}
};

template <class K>
struct d0_DBObject : public d0_Object
{
  void activate() { printf ("act\n"); d0_Object::activate();}
};

int main ()
{
  d0_DBObject<int> x;
  x.activate();
  return 0;
}
