The one about something in the STL headers being multiply 
defined, right?

If it can't be solved, probably it should be reported to Sun as 
a bug.

Another possibility is to just not use it.  That is the way I 
have dealt with other portability issues.

Ordinary users should never see it.  It helps debugging for me.  
Those "untested" calls print a message, so I can prove to 
myself that it actually goes that way.  They are defined to 
blanks and disappear with a "release build".    The only ones 
remaining, that stay on, are "unreachable" and "incomplete".  
Regular users should never see these, but I want to know if 
they do, because it always indicates a bug. 

Since you did the work, and it doesn't complicate the actual 
code any, Let's put the test in.
