The code for Any::to_object is taken verbatim from the C++ mapping
specification, so it's rather upsetting that your compiler complains
about it. Does it work if you use this:

    to_object(Object_out obj) : ref(obj._data) { }

That's rather more in the spirit of the mapping spec.

It's clearly a bug in the HP compiler. No matter what's wrong with the
code being compiled, it shouldn't be able to segfault the compiler.
Are you using the latest version?  Perhaps you can check with HP to
see if there are any patches available?
