>Description:
The implementation of bitset relies on the behavior
of _WordT >> __BITS_PER_WORDT(_WordT), which is not
defined according to the C standard, and is equivalent
to _WordT >> 0 on the Sparc. This occurs whenever the
shift amount is a multiple of __BITS_PER_WORDT(_WordT).
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
The expressions on lines 201 and 220 of stl/bits/std_bitset.h
should read (__offset ? ... : static_cast<_WordT>(0)) instead.
