Ah, I'd missed that these errors stemmed from explicit template
instantiations, though in retrospect that would explain why they weren't
far more widespread.  At any rate, in that case, the bug is indeed in
libitpp; I'd suggest either factoring the instantiations into a common
source file or perhaps consolidating all affected source files into a
single large compilation unit, by means of an auxiliary file that would
#include them all.

Thanks for taking a closer look!
