Yep, you're right, I have that problem elsewhere.  I took a detour and had a 
look at the code that I was having problems with.  The solution I had to use 
(I coun't find any other), was to use a dummy parameter.  For example

template<typename FPT, typename ToleranceSource>
inline bool
compare_and_continue_impl( FPT left, FPT right, ToleranceSource tolerance_src)
{
     FPT* dummy = NULL;
     close_at_tolerance pred( tolerance_src, dummy );
}

It's ugly and annoying, but it solved my problem (using gcc 2.95.3).

If anyone has any other solutions, please speak up as you don't know how much 
I would like to change that code.

Cheers,

Tom
