I've fixed it in CVS.

My apologies: I've just recently emerged from the dark ages of MSVC++ 6 
(we've finally started moving to MSVC++ 7.1) and will make mistakes like 
this occasionally until I'm used to more standard-compliant C++. I was 
lulled into a false sense of security by both MSVC++ 6 and MSVC++ 7.1 
accepting the typename.
