Thanks, that got things building OK.

The reason I was doing this was to try and reproduce the iterator misuse 
problem that's being reported in the wave regressions, for example here: 
http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_33_0/developer/output/Martin%20Wille-bin-boost-libs-wave-test-build-testwave-test-gcc-3-4-4-linux-debug.html

However instead of reproducing that error, I get an access violation here:

I suspect the two could be related, but I'm not sure.
