template member function template variable decl error

[David Walter <dwalter@eaglepeak.net>]

The following code fails to compile with the error:

template<class T>
void Map<T>::insert(RWCString& name, const T*item) throw()
{
    T* field = Map<T>::empty;
    map<RWCString,T*>::iterator itr;
    if ( itr < map_.end() )
        throw Exception( "Map::insert() : <<" + name + ">> already in container." );
    throw Exception("map iterator definition issue?");
    map_[name] = item;
}

This appears to be similar to the bug:
