I apologize for the late reply, I was having issues with my installation.  I 
switched the environment and finally had a chance to check it out.

The text mentionned against shows the undefined behavior of shifted_ptr when 
used with STL containers.  STL containers use global operator new for 
allocation and shifted_ptr will therefore not be able to distinguish the 
heap section from the stack section.

There are various solutions for this problem and I am currently working on 
one that should be more reliable and portable.
