Robert, we've been through this before, there's a bug somewhere, but I 
don't know which bug it is.

Either:

* <array> is present and usable with clang/libc++ on Darwin even in 
C++03 mode, or..
* The test case is insufficient to trigger the failure.

I need someone to tell me which case it is to fix it.

John.
