g++ Template call through pointer - a bug?

[Vladimir Avdonin <vldmrrr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Here is a short program that fail to compile with single error that I can not
explain. Here I try to call a member function template via pointer to object.
Seemingly the same code compiles in one context and fails in other with syntax
error. I would not claim this is a bug, but it does look like one to me. What
am I missing here? gcc version 3.3.3 (mingw special)

Thanks
Vladimir

-------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
struct A {
	template <class T> void fun() {
		printf("%d\n",sizeof(T));
	}
};

struct B {
	A *a;
	B(A *ia) {
		a = ia;
	}
	template <class T> void fun() {
		a->fun<T>(); // This works
	}
};

template <class T> void ptrfun(A* a) {
	a->fun<T>(); // tst.cpp:19: error: syntax error before `>' token
}

int main() {
	A a;
	B b(&a);

	a.fun<int>();
	b.fun<double>();
	ptrfun<char>(&a);	
}
