FWIW, I have reported g++ bugs in the past that made boost::shared_ptr 
misbehave, and they did get acknowledged and fixed, so this might still be 
worth a try. I did not need to distill it down to an example that did not 
#include anything Boost, although I think I did follow

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html

(that is, I did include self-contained preprocessed output.)
