Try applying changeset [55722] in trunk:

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/55722/trunk/libs/signals2/doc/snippet_extractor.cpp

it fixes the problem with mingw gcc3 for me at least.  Apparently, some 
compilers set an error bit when you call the close method of a default 
constructed ofstream, and some don't.
