int
main()
{
    typedef unsigned int UInt32;

    double d1(11.1);
    UInt32 whole( UInt32(d1) );
    UInt32 whole2 = UInt32(d1);

    double remainder( d1 - double(whole) );
    remainder = d1 - double(whole2);

    return 0;
}
>Fix:
A work-around exits. Use

    UInt32 whole = UInt32(d1);

instead of 

    UInt32 whole( UInt32(d1) );
