Nice. In your last message you wrote:

"singular"

So my conclusion is:
find_iterator as well as directory_iterator are no iterators on standard 
containers and therefore there is no requirement to declare them 
"singular" if they are default constructed. Did I get it right?

The problem was that Pavol compared an uninitialized iterator of 
std::string internally _before_ checking its validity.

BTW, I'm on the way to run the complete regressions for Intel 8 + STLPort.

David, you didn't apply the patch, did you?
