I am using gcc 2.95.2 under djgpp, with STL version 3.3 downloaded from
the cgi website (which seems to be identical to the one supplied with
djgpp). As my program is so trivial, I am simply flabbergasted that
hundereds of people are not having all their programs fall over by the
dozen. What is going on here? Fixing the lack of int before main, here
again is the completely trivial example that stumps this system:

#include <vector>
using namespace std;  // Tried with & without this line
int main() {
       std::vector<std::vector<int> > i;
       // Tried with & without the "std::"
       return 0;
}

This works with STL V3.2. Is there anyone here who can test this program
and see if they can get it to compile with _STL 3.3_, and if so, what
compiler are you using?
