pg 493 corrected example:

	bitset<10> b5(string("10110111011110"),4); 	// 0111011110
	bitset<10> b6(string("10110111011110"),2,8); 	// 0011011101

Chapter 21:

pg 618 better comment:

	streamsize gcount() const;	// number of char read by last unformatted input function

pg 684 In the last example, the declaration of val should be:

	typename iterator_traits<In>::value_type val = *first;	// see 19.2.2

Appendix C:

pg 832 s/can be represented: int, long int, unsigned long int//can be represented: int, long int/

pg 854 corrected example:

	template class X {
		// ...
		static T def_val;
		static T* new_X(T a = def_val);
	};

	template< class T> T X<T>::def_val;	// initialize to X<T>()
	template< class T> T* X<T>::new_X(T a) { /* ... */ }

	template< > int X<int>::def_val = 0;
	template< > int* X<int>::new_X(int i) { /* ... */ }
