I'll have to check this but I think some of the changes that Simon 
Atanasyan from SUN made and published in his blog address this. It's a 
tad late in the day for me to check but it may well be that I've got a 
patch for that which I'm preparing...

I don't think we should as the compiler in general is fairly standard 
compliant. However SUN mainly supports the configuration of this 
compiler + STLport. If you don't use that configuration you may be 
seeing some really odd things happening.
