OSL is currently getting the beta versions of our next compiler release (Sun 
Studio 10 update 1, C++ 5.8). Sun C++ still has many BOOST test failures. We 
found the problem with static templates in an internal compiler update that we 
won't distribute until we resolve which failures are errors in BOOST, and which 
are compiler bugs.
