Thanks Bryce, I will use it as soon as gcc compile. The CVS snapshot of
today now segfault on me!!! It didn't yesterday, have to find out...

I am not at all an expert but according to the doc coming with 
libstdc++-v3:

  "As the libstdc++-v3 sources and core GCC sources have converged, more
   and more effort goes to building the library as the default version to
   be shipped with g++. With the 2.90.8 snapshot, and  especially for CVS
   versions after this release, this is treated as the usual scenario."

So I would assume that gcc 3.0 would have v3 by default.
