Hi John,

I knew it compiled with xlC 10.  And clearly IBM has improved their compiler significantly since I bought xlC 6.  I figure xlC 6 is like MSVC 6 - it does templates but not really.  It makes sense - xlC 6 is four versions behind and so is MSVC 6.  It's just too old.

Sorry about the truncated error messages - I have no idea how to make them contain more detail.
