How about doing this.

1) check out the CVS version of the STL stuff just before you updated
   to version 3.12
2) do a difference from that version (just before the update) with the
   original unmodified version of SGI's STL 3.11
3) Carefully review the changes made and try to apply them back into 
   the version 3.12.
4) After you have applied all of the changes do a diff with your new
   version of the STL and version 3.12 and send the patch to SGI.

Will this not work?
