VS 2003 generating duplicate COMDAT for template instantiation?

I'm trying to generate a SAS parser/binder using just a little bit of 
template programing, and I'm running into the following link error (I'm 
using VS 2003). I would like any help I can get in how to work around 
this problem. I got it when I was reinterpret_cast-ing from type 
Foo::*Bar[N] to Foo::*Bar[], but I worked around that by explicitly 
passing in the array size. However, here there are no skanky casts 
involved; this should "just work." (And I've tried with and without the 
inline Access() function).


Win32DX9Graphics.obj : fatal error LNK1179: invalid or corrupt file: 
duplicate COMDAT 
'?Access@?$FieldAccessor@USasAmbientLight@impl_DX9@@VFastTriple@pit@@$GA@A@A@@impl_DX9@@QAEABVFastTriple@pit@@ABUSasAmbientLight@2@@Z'

Looking at the templates FieldAccessor, here is the code:


template<typename Container, typename Type, Type Container::*Field>
class FieldAccessor {
  public:
    typedef Container ContainerType;
    typedef Type FieldType;
    inline Type const &Access(Container const &c) { return c.*Field; }
};


Here are the two cases where FieldAccessor<> is referenced for the 
SasAmbientLight:


      //  dispatch the child
      if (!wcscmp(path, L"color")) {
        setter_ = PIT_SYSTEMNEW0("ValueSetter") ValueSetter<
            FieldAccessor<SasAmbientLight, pit::FloatTriple, 
&SasAmbientLight::color> >
            (this, core_->ambientlight_[l]);
        return true;
      }
      return false;

...

      //  dispatch the child, then return an iterator on that
      if (!wcscmp(path, L"color")) {
        setter_ = PIT_SYSTEMNEW0("OuterArraySetter") OuterArraySetter<
            FieldAccessor<SasAmbientLight, pit::FloatTriple, 
&SasAmbientLight::color> >
            (this, core_->ambientlight_, &core_->numambientlights_.get());
        return true;
      }
      return false;



pit::FloatTriple is what you'd expect, as is struct SasAmbientLight:

struct SasAmbientLight {
  pit::FloatTriple      color;
};



Btw: upgrading to 2005 isn't the preferred solution right now.
