I didn't even know that STLPort-4.6 had been released yet.

I'll add it to my todo list, but don't hold your breath - vc6 is two
generations out of date now - and for problems like this, where the compiler
just ICE's, there isn't always anything one can do, except maybe make random
changes until something fixes the problem :-(
