 There seems to be a problem with specialised template friend
 functions in a class template when there are also member functions
 with the same name. The requested info for a bug report is below. (I
 have the same problem under Linux on my notebook - so this seems to
 be platform independent; the same problem arises if namespace is not
 used; the same problems arises if instead of operator- we have plain
 functions). Thanks.
