Your code below is fine... there is something wrong with the C++ 
headers used
in the FreeBSD tree.  I haven't seen this on other platforms.  I don't 
think that those with commit access generally do a lot with C++ 
[possibly a bad assumption, but I have
a hard time believing the problem would have lived so long if this 
weren't the case]
