|       pos + foo1;                             // OK
|       pos + foo2;                             // not OK, ambiguous
|       pos + static_cast<std::streamoff> (foo2);       // OK
|     }
|   
|   This problem will show up using gcc versions >= -3.0.

|   no default conversion for the arguments of ?: operator.

| Patch against current CVS tree.

I applied your patch.
