i appreciate it. But, that does not seem to do a thing...

const packagelist::infotype packagelist::infoinfos[]= {
  { &itr_recursive,    &itd_relations         },
  { 0,                 &itd_description       },
  { 0,                 &itd_statuscontrol     },
  { 0,                 &itd_availablecontrol  },
  { 0,                 0                      }
};

still gives me

the one thing that i can think of that's making this painful is that i'm
using an egcs snapshot, so the STL has been updated to the current SGI
STL (v3.0?).

Humm...  seems like egcs-1.1.1 works ok.  Well, that fixes that for the
moment.  But at some point, it'd be nice to get this cleaned up for
egcs-1.2.  (i'd guess this will be an issue for the ultra port soon.)

(sorry to have been bugging you with things that are based on snapshots)

thanks!
