I'm going to take another shot at reducing this tonight or tomorrow now
that I'm back at my apartment and have access to my main dev box and more
time.  I can't guarantee results in this timeframe, though, because this is
really the Bug From Hell.  The struct that is failing to compile is in the
expression template system, where everything is very tightly coupled (lots
of circular dependencies; it's hard to remove one thing at a time).  For
the first test case I submitted, I managed to just inspect the SciD code
and write code that reproduced the bug rather than systematically deleting
code to get a test case.  I haven't had such luck now that the bug is
partially fixed.
