Ooops! I seem to have hit a MinGW GCC 3.2 C++ front-end
bug with this! For more details, see the thread starting
with this message posted by me to the mingw-users list:

http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/SourceForge/6013/25/10198478/

A couple of workarounds were suggested and if the issue isn't
resolved soon, I'll use these and repost the patch.

Sincerely Yours,
Ranjit.
