[boost] Boost.Function: MSVC ICE

I just had to work around an ICE in a seemingly trivial use of
boost::function:

given:

typedef boost::function2<PyObject*, PyObject*, PyObject*> py_function;
PyObject* identity(PyObject* args_, PyObject*);

The expression:

    py_function(identity)

Was producing an ICE with vc6.5. To work around it, I actually had to use
the bind library:

    py_function(bind(identity,_1,_2))

Isn't this weird?
