It's the same link, but not the same reference. One is pointing to the
advice in the book, and one is pointing to the accompanying example
code that is available in the CDROM version of the book.

That whole file needs updates, it's all out of date (C++11 adds
nullptr as a better alternative to NULL, and in the next section the
list of six flavours is waaaaaaay out of date, as there are several
new overloads in recent standards).
