I'm a little bit not sure about this but anyway I have applied your
proposed changes the same as an added bonus to have reviewed my code
;-)

Yes!!  I completely missed this!

Thanks a lot for this important suggestion. What happened is that
auto_ptr was necessary in some previous code of mine that used an home
grown function instead of boost::function.

Now a pointer is no more necessary and we can simply store
boost::function object as class member data.

I have upload in Vault the new much better (but even smaller) version
that I start to consider stable so I have called msf_27_4_2008.zip

Thanks
