Please look into this. Did you by any chance compile and run this test? If so, on what system?

I've only tested it with MSVC 8 and it works there. I don't have MSVC 7.1 to test with. It seems to be a problem with std::bitset::to_string().

I've made changes and it seems to test well here and I will shortly upload to the trunk. I only made the minimal changes required to make it work "everywhere". In looking at it though, I have a couple of observations.

Someone is going to complain that it's not very efficient when storing to binary files. Perhaps you want to consider specializations for size < 8, size < 16, size < 32 so that it's stored in an unsigned integer. Downside is that this would require going into MPL which requires more effort.
