I downloaded Robert Pierce's numerical array extensions to libg++
(g++array-0.9.2.tar.gz) and tried to compile a test program. It works OK on
a DEC alpha box running Digital Unix (gcc version 2.7.2.1) and on my PC
using the EMX+RSXNT port of the Gnu tools (also reports gcc version
2.7.2.1) but under Gnu-Win32 beta18 or beta17.1 I get:

In file included from ../include/mArray.h:22,
                 from marr_test.C:19:
.../include/array_store.h:145: syntax error before `{'
.../include/array_store.h:148: syntax error before `public'
g++: Internal compiler error: program cc1plus got fatal signal 33

array_store.h is full of template definitions (which don't mean much to me
yet) and the place where the "syntax error" is detected is about the 8th
such definition:

template<class T>                                   // line 143
class value_mask_pointer : public mask_pointer      // line 144
{                                                   // line 145
private:                                            // line 146
  size_t s_;                                        // line 147
public:                                             // line 148
  value_mask_pointer() : s_(0) {}                   // line 149

I checked this has nothing to do with binary vs text line endings etc.
Gnu-Win32 works fine on a variety of other programs. Any ideas?
