I think the patch is correctly applied. When I submitted it, I reported
that the tests list_inserter, list_of and multi_index_container would still
crash at run-time, which is what's happening (more or less):

* test_list_inserter: behaving as predicted
* list_of: behaving as predicted (in fact, this test does not depend on the
patch at all, list_inserter.hpp is not included)
* multi_index_container: here we have differing results; in my local
environment, there's no hang up, but a sure crash.

Now I wonder about the results of test array for msvc-stlport and vc7.
This test does not depend on the patch I proposed, so its current
failing on these platforms must be due to something else. Does
anybody remember whether they used to work in past days? (Thorsten?)
