The patch Martin posted to the list fixes this -- check out the 
0.08PLUS1 version I just posted. It's not dodgy code, it's a bug in the 
compiler.

For example, Martin changed

   Connection(rStream);

to

   this->Connection(rStream);

within a member function, which as I'm sure you'll agree is actually 
identical code. There's also another issue in one of the tests where 
adding brackets around a type (again legal) causes an error. Amusing.
