You're welcome!  BTW, Borland's implementation of value-initialization 
isn't entirely correct either.  It might need a workaround as well... 
The following assertion fails on Borland (version 0x582, Turbo C++ 
Explorer downloaded from www.codegear.com):

struct C { int i; };

  value_initialized<C> * ptr = new value_initialized<C>();
  assert( get(*ptr).i == 0 );  // Fails on Borland 0x582

Kind regards,

  Niels
