Subject: bug in template instantiation

Version:
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc/2.3.1/specs
gcc version 2.3.1
on a Sun sparc workstation

Bug in template instantiation: I have a 

template < class T, enum Types Tcode, const char* Name >

and g++ belches on Name, saying

cd /u2/mcgrant/src/qdes/ver2/
g++ -DNOINLINE -c qdesVar.C
qdesVar.C:44: invalid pointer constant for template parameter
/usr/local/bin/gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1plus got fatal signal 11

Compilation exited abnormally with code 1 at Wed Nov  4 19:27:54
