Hi Frank,
Your solution works perfectly on all our platforms, in addition to being
nicer than the type holder trick. Thanks for the quick fix!

I put a different workaround in svn a little while ago (fully qualified the 
get_deleter call) which allowed get_deleter to compile with gcc 2.95.  Is 
the type holder solution more effective?
