I can compile this normally. But I've got to apologize; my compiler is
in fact version 11.1 (11.1 20100414), I was confused by the way our
admin did the latest installations. So that may explain the
difference. I now recall that I used a special patch to workaround
this issue, but I can't find it anymore (probably deleted it when the
latest upgrade fixed the bug).
