I'm not sure what problem you're seeing. If you can send me a complete
test case, I'll look into it.

The only template limit is the tempalte recursion limit, and that can
be controlled by a -ftemplate-depth=<depth> option when compiling, and
that's obviously not what you're running into.

I know nothing about OWL. If it's a C++ class library, then it's NOT
compatible with GCC (unless it's also compiled with GCC). Sorry.

Regards,
Mumit
