Hello Todd, Xavier and Matt,

First let me thank Matt for finding this solution. Metrowerks endorses the
proposed solution. If this does not make it to the list, please post it
there.

Yes we did and we still have not been able to distill this down to a simple
example. But we were able to verify Matt's solution.

It seems that the template ctor function

    template<class T>
    _bz_ArrayExpr(const T& a)
        : iter_(a)
    { }

matches some call that generates an incompatible match for iter_(a). While
we are not really sure if that is a bug in the compiler our interpretation
of the standard or in blitz, we will assume that since GCC and EDG compile
that this is probably some problem in our compiler.
The workaround seems to fix all these problems and we can compile the
test suite and example files.

Thanks to everyone involved,

Ron
