It doesn't? I was under the impression that array<T> only required that
T be CopyConstructible, unlike vector<T> which also requires T be
Assignable.

Search for BOOST_WORKAROUND in boost/asio/buffer.hpp. I assume you're
using BDS2006 -- I only have access to BCB6.
 What's the correct value of __BORLANDC__ for the newer compiler?

Thanks for testing this out!

Cheers,
