[boost] VC8.0 and std::list

Hi,

I have encountered a problem with vc8.0 std library. I was able to fix
it, but I'm not sure what is correct according to standard.

The problem can be narrowed to one simple case. In vc8.0 method 

iterator std::list<>::erase(iterator First, iterator Last) 

returns a 'singular' iterator when the list is empty after erase operation.
Because I'm dependant on the returned iterator to make insertion 
at this point later on, I had to make an explicit workaroud.

I would expect it to return .end() iterator in this case.

Is this behavior correct according to standard or not? 
If not, is it reasonable to submit bug report?

Thanks,

Pavol
