   Not being a C++ programmer so I really do not understand what is
   happening other than the info provided above.  Is this an Interviews
   problem or (more likely) a problem with our local C++ installation ?

Neither.  The problem is with SunOS 4.1.  They goofed and defined
size_t as int instead of unsigned int.  We patched the offending
header file as follows:
