Problem with gcc4.7 and call_once

[Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia]

We don't really need to continue this thread.  I have reproduced the issue and think I have a workaround.  Feel free to file a ticket and assign it to me if you want to continue this thread in a more appropriate venue (mailing list chatter gets lost more easily than bug reports).

Thanks,
Jeremy
