ITYM std::vector, unless you have "using namespace std;" near the top of
the source or header file.

GCC 2.95 does not properly respect the std namespace.  Many things are
just tossed in :: instead of std::.

I think the best way to solve this would be to, in a header file:

#ifdef __GNUC__
#  if (__GNUC__ < 3)
    /* We don't need namespace std */
#  else
    using namespace std;
#  endif
#else
  using namespace std;
#endif

I don't have access to VC++ or GCC 2.95 right now, but that should `fix'
the problem.
