bug using vector<const pointer>

[Peter Mansbach]

I can pass a (non-const) pointer to a function that expects a const pointer.
However, g++ will not let me pass a vector of (non-const) pointers to a
function that expects a vector of const pointers. Here's a simplified
example:
=========================
#include <vector>
class BurstMonitor;

void testfunc(vector<const BurstMonitor*>* vecc)
{
  (void) vecc;
}

void func(vector<BurstMonitor *>testvec)
{
     testfunc(&testvec);
     BurstMonitor *objp = testvec[0];
}
=========================

Compiling this file with the command line

    g++ -o testcptr.o testcptr.cpp

generates the output:

testcptr.cpp: In function `void func(vector<BurstMonitor
*,allocator<BurstMonitor *> >)':
testcptr.cpp:11: type `vector<const BurstMonitor *,allocator<const
BurstMonitor *> >' is not a base type for type `vector<BurstMonitor
*,allocator<BurstMonitor *> >'

and no object file is produced. We're using
    gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
on Solaris 2.8  (SunOS vsatsun28 5.8 Generic_108528-14 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Ultra-5_10)
