Thanks for the confirmation. Before I looked at the LSB assert.h, I was
starting to go a little crazy!

I shall file a bug.

We're undertaking a rewrite of one of our major cross-platform products
where I work, and we're targeting LSB 3.1 right now as one of our Linux
"platforms" for official support. I should have joined this list a while
ago, it probably would have saved me some long days fighting with the
LSB c++ compiler.

Anyway, thanks.
