ICE compiling template code

Hi All,

Here is some code from another thread in 'comp.lang.c++'. I get ICE on the line that contains 'friend' keyword.

void Function();
int main() {
Function(); // This does not work
}

#include <stdio.h>

template <typename T>
class Test
{
public:
friend void Function() { printf("Function()"); }
};

template class Test<int>; // explicit instantiation

(compiler file 'msc1.cpp', line 1411)

Any clues?
