Fixed in the main Boost CVS. Thanks!

Please be aware that there will be a lot of changes as the formal review 
comments get cut in during the next several weeks.  Some of these (like 
changing from operator<< to operator/) will break any current code using 
the library.

Hum... It might be possible to support both for a short transition period. 
I'll look at that in more detail when I'm actually working on the code.
