Many thanks. Your specialization makes the code compile OK - have to make other 
changes  (for new thread interface) before I can run it, will report on the 
outcome.

I think whole of pool needs a review - I think it hasn't been updated for a 
while. Maybe I'll volunteer once I have shipped my current project :)

By the way, the release notes for 1.35 state that equal_range is now more 
efficient - are we talking better computational complexity here, or less 
overhead?  Could you please point me to a description of the changes so I know 
what sort of improvement should be expected. And does this mean that the 
predicate based range lookup functions exposed by multi-index (ones that take a 
lower & uper bounder) are more efficient as well?

Thanks again. Multiindex is an amazingly useful library.
