Thanks for the pointer.  I looked at the code and thought the same
thing when I saw the clean() method.  I've changed the base class
destructor to virtual and it took care of the issue.  I've also
reintroduced the static_constant template from 1.38 to prevent the
'defined but not used' warnings (see
http://www.nabble.com/-test--gcc-4.2.1-unused-warnings-reappear-in-1.39-td24335398.html
).
Attached is a patch with all the changes I've applied to 1.39.

Regards,
Sebastian
