	This is **NOT** a bug !!
	g++ provides 4 or 5 ways of template instantiation.
	They're all in the manual or info files.

	If you've got a g++ with the repo patch, _then_ it
	will work like the Sun compiler, or the NCR C++ compiler
	as these guys use a repository.
	I don't know if DJ put the repo patch in his version.
