     Type:  Bugs          |      Status:  new       
Milestone:  Boost 1.37.0  |   Component:  date_time 
  Version:  Boost 1.36.0  |    Severity:  Problem   
 Keywords:                |  
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 On GCC 4.3.2 the following code snippet causes an error:

 {{{
   namespace ns {
     template <class T>
     name { };

     name<int> name; // error here, redefining name
   }
 }}}

 The workaround to this is to use the namespace-qualified type name in the
 template instantiation:

 {{{
   ns::name<int> name; // error goes away
 }}}

 Attached is a (trivial) patch that addresses the issue.
