he he he
Seems I'm replying to my own post. Two hours after starting this thread
(half an hour spent in front of the computer) I've identified the problem.
It occurs whenever you include <list> (or <algo> or any other lib that uses
<function.h>) and <string> in the same compilation unit AND <list> is 
included before <string>. 
The reason is, the operator deklarations the error messages refer to in
<sinst.h> (included somehow from <string>) somehow match the operators in
<function.h> in an inproper way.
But if you include <string> before <list> anything goes fine and the
template instantiation is not ambiguous. This is a little weird.

Does'nt matter. The workaround works around.
I promise next time I spend a little more time on the problem before posting
a cry for help. Fortunately my I-net access is absolutely free. :-)

What I would be interested in: Does this error occur also in other
C++-Compilers ?

Regards
	Joe
