Scratch that. I _don't_ have a test case that exhibits the problem. 
Even the signals torture test (random_signal_system) isn't detecting 
any problems. *If* you have some spare time, it might help if you could 
build the random_signal_system test (in libs/signals/test) from CVS and 
run it as

        ./random_signal_system 500 0.01 10000

  If the final BOOST_TEST doesn't throw, then we haven't duplicated the 
problem :(
