If you use -DBOOST_SP_USE_PTHREADS then the IA64-specific code I wrote 
for manipulating use counts will not be used. This worked on a 
dual-Itanium system under Linux, but I have not tested it on either the 
Itanium 2 or HP-UX. (Nor am I easily able to.) If you could use gdb to 
find exactly where the segmentation fault or bus error occurs, that 
might help me to track down the bug. You'll need to use the -g option to 
g++ in order for gdb to produce useful information.
