Same problem. ref() returns a non-const temporary (so it doesn't work,
despite my claims to the contrary. ;-) )

This can be fixed. ref() can be made to return a const object (in fact it
did so at one point) but I've changed it because const returns tend to break
Borland C++.

I'll fix ref.hpp to return a non-const object only on bcc32.
