[SNIP various other standards conformance things]
A lot of these things come down to the C++ standard being fairly new and
GCC 2.95.2 being fairly old. At the time few if any compilers would
have had complete support for the standard, G++ being no exception.
Current GCC (which is starting to move towards a 3.0 release) is much
more standards conformant, particularly WRT the standard library.
