Using inherited class pointer as template class argument with static class meber

[Tamas Varga]

Hi GCC maintainers,
the code fragement below produces an 'internal complier error', which
seems to be unreasonable. The static member tag and the pointer conflicts
each other. The code is perfectly compiled if the static member tag is
omitted. I was using gcc version 2.8.1
Best regards

//----------------------------------------------------------------------
template <class T> class Something {
        T       ptr;
static  char*   type;
};

template <class T> char* Something<T>::type=0;

class Thing : public Something<Thing*> {
        int     data;
};

main()
{
    Thing a;
}
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
