The original post hasn't shown up on my server, but this shouldn't be the
problem.  It's perfectly legal for there to be whitespace between the
`operator' keyword and the symbol in the function name.  operator new is a
good example, since you _have_ to have whitespace.  Namely, I do it all
the time.

The problem is something else.
