Something else is going on....there is a problem in iomanip.h.  The declaration
of class omanip (or is it oapp?  I forget) is incorrect; change it to look like
the declaration of imanip (or iapp).  I presume dj will fix this bug in the
next maintenance release, but for now you'll have to change it yourself.  I
no longer have the original to make a patch file, but I can post the changed
block if necessary.

I noticed this too, but I didn't investigate it that thoroughly.  Oh well.
