Hi Alfredo,

thanks for your question! Good to see that people start using the new

Is "is" a Boost.Iostreams stream? If so, do you use Boost 1.50.0 or an  
earlier version? Then I strongly recommend upgrading to Boost 1.51.0.  
Various end-of-stream unit tests failed when I used Boost 1.50.0 because  
of a bug in Boost.Iostreams.

HTH,
Boris
