Damn - I knew it was something obvious... but I just didn´t see it at
that point.

What about creating an error message with a little more content? It is
very easy to overlook this is also an implicit casting away of
constness. Adding something like "change of constness" to the end of
the line would solve the problem.

Thanks for your help,
