This was not meant to be included in the source tree. The point was to show
was caused the problem. Frankly, I think this should be detected by all
compilers since using both

#include <string>
#include <string.h> //this is done indirectly

looks quite problematic to me.

If you do have some spare time, please read that bug report that I posted
in a previous
message, and see what is best.  (BTW, there is no OpenSolaris: just Illumos
based
distros, e.g., OpenIndiana, StormOS, etc, and Solaris 11).

Best regards,
