[Boost-users] boost.program_options gives ./first: free(): invalid pointer with g++ 4.0.3 and 4.1.0

In compiling and testing the 'first.cpp' program from the example
directory of the program_options directory, the program fails with the
message:

*** glibc detected *** ./first: free(): invalid pointer:
0x00000000005104e8 ***

I built g++ version 4.1.0 and received the same result.

The hardware is AMD opteron 64 bit, the OS is Linux fedora core 4.

I had upgraded the compiler earlier to 4.0.3, and all other
compiles/execution work fine and also tried 4.1.0 gcc.  Nonetheless, I
cannot shake the notion that this might be related to the compiler.

Are there any ideas regarding what I might try next?

Thanks
