Thanks for forwarding this on,

Yeah, it was surprising this was around as long as it was (as you
point out, in part because of bugs in other libstdc++/libc++) but it
was fixed a few days ago in
http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=rev&revision=158245

Yep, http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=13063 fixed in
http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=rev&revision=158280

Thanks again,
