  Yeah, I know :(

  I managed to track some more stuff down, but not enough to make a proper
bugreport:

   - the bug only appears when compiling with optimization on.  (and maybe
   with -g as well; I'll check that)

   - it is only triggered if I #include apt-pkg/pkgcache.h BEFORE
   the internal file pkg_hier.h.  If I reverse the order of those includes,
   compilation proceeds without problems.  (I will probably use this as
   a workaround, which unfortunately means my motivation for solving this
   versus doing my coursework is going to go way down :( )
