Comment (by jbosch):

 Looking closer, my original patch would solve the problem but probably
 create some new ones, by always casting to unsigned int instead of the
 template parameter type.  I've now attached a new patch that avoids
 mistake.

 It also looks like one of the partial specializations of the template in
 the same area could cause problems for C++11, depending on the types it
 was instantiated with.  I'll leave fixing that up to someone more familiar
 with its purpose.
