I know you! ;-)
You are one of the boost guys (In my work, our base libraries are largely based in boost). BTW.. are you working in regression tests
for boost 1.34 ?

Best regards vecino...

Hi Cholo Lennon,

You're right, VC8 is having problems with template and explicit
keyword (I've tried your sample with C++ Builder 6 (at this time an
old compiler) and Comeau online compiler, both compile successfully).
At the moment I don't see a workaround better than defining a copy
ctor in 'derived' (using static_cast to force the use of correct
ctor). I must say that I tried some workarround using another base
class, metaprogramming, etc, but without success. Another compiler
bug to notify....
Thanks for confirming it.
Fortunately the workaround is viable in our real code base.

Bs. As., ARG?? Me too!
Slowly we're getting momentum in these english-speaking newsgroups ;)
