I've sent in about 5 already-- all seem relatively minor and 3 have been
fixed already. I have to say I'm impressed with Diana, Arch and the rest of
the C++ development team down there. I've also noticed much better memory
consumption and compile times on my large scientific code base.

On an unrelated tangent; any idea when Blitz++ matrix classes with
common algorithms will be ready?

Thanks,
Kevin
