Re: [Brahms-dev-l] BrMainDb compile question

You don't think the problem is with having the prototype arguments 
defined as
>> BrDb*&, const Char_t*
while the calling code uses
>> BrDb*, const Char_t*&
???

This is what looks strangest to me...although I would have expected 
more serious
consequences.
