A further reduced testcase.

#include <cassert> 

template<typename _Iterator>
  class reverse_iterator 
  {
  protected:
    _Iterator current;

  public:
    typedef _Iterator iterator_type;

    explicit 
    reverse_iterator(iterator_type __x)
    : current(__x)
    { }

    iterator_type 
    base() const { return current; }
  };

int main() 
{ 
  typedef reverse_iterator<const char*> RI;

  // char s[] = "0";
  const char s[] = "0";

  // RI r1(s);
  RI r1 = RI(s);

  const char* n1 = r1.base();
  assert( n1 == s );
