It appears that the function definition:
   template<type> func() {...}
is not handled correctly by g++.

The following program doesn't compile under g++ (gcc) 2.2.2
on a Sparc 2, SunOs 4.1.  Yet it seems to me it should.
Is there a fix for this?

===== begin program =================
template <class T>
class QI {
public:
  QI();
  void print();
private:
  T item;
  QI *next;
  };



template <class T>
QI<T>::QI() {}


template <class T>
void QI<T>::print();

// **** following line is line 21, and causes error:
QI<int> afunc() {
   QI<int> alpha;
   return alpha;
   }

main () {
   QI<int> beta;
   }
=============== end program ===================
