Thanks John!
I did extensive testing internally and was going to commit, but...

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1495972&group_id=1&atid=200001

cvs diff: failed to create lock directory for `/cvsroot/boost/boost/boost'
(/cvsroot/boost/boost/boost/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs diff: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvsroot/boost/boost/boost'
cvs [diff aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

I am very sorry if this was my fault (although I think it is a bad trap). Do
others have the same problem?

Ralf
