Hmmm ... I use g++ quite a lot, and so far haven't found any bugs,
except for a really stupid one in the iostream libraries (if you supply
the optional flags to the constructor, you have to include the direction
flag, even though it is implicit in the type (i.e. ios::in or
ios::out)).

Cheers,

Ben.
