The problem seems to lie in that basic_cstring<>::npos is an unnamed
enum, and ICC does not like it to be passed as a template arg (I don't
actually know if this is a conformant diagnostic.) Anyway, the problem
goes away (confirmed in ICC 7.1) with the folowing patch in
basic_cstring.hpp:

58c58
<     enum { npos = -1 };
---
>     enum npos_type_ { npos = -1 };
Also, I have checked the patch does not break MSVC 6.5, and I don't
think other compilers will have problems with it (it's perfectly legal
and innocent C++).
