Very annoying. I hope this is the only occurrence of this problem.
This is due to f****** C++; I did not find a clean way to redefine
the new operator for TeXmacs objects only (avoiding interaction with Qt).
I had to explicitly list all cases of tm_new in fast_alloc.hpp.

You may try to disambiguate by casting the first argument to
const list<int>& and see if that works. You may also try to
add additional tm_new forms in fast_alloc.hpp.
Please play a bit and tell me what works for you.

Best wishes, Joris
