[Boost-users] [tuple] weird compile error with VC-8_0

Hi,

I am getting this error message, when using boost::tuple:

include\boost\tuple\detail\tuple_basic.hpp(373) : error C2039: 'tail' : is
not a member of 'boost::tuples::cons<HT,TT>'
1>        with
1>        [
1>            HT=UTX::DB::nulled_type<unsigned char>,
1>            TT=boost::tuples::null_type
1>        ]

The referred line is the templated constructor of the non-specialised struct
cons:

template <class HT2, class TT2>
cons( const cons<HT2, TT2>& u ) : head(u.head), tail(u.tail) {}

So it seems that somehow the non-specialised method is called for the
specialised template instantiation.  Has anybody seen something like this?
Is there a way to circumvent it?

Thx
