[boost] [any] Infinite loop in boost::any in boost release 1.54.0 using Visual C++ 2010

This very simple code:

#include <boost/any.hpp>
#include <string>

const boost::any getBoolVal()
{
    return false;
}

int main()
{
    boost::any vals[] = {1.0, std::string("1m"), getBoolVal()};
}

When built using Visual C++ 2010, it will run into a infinite loop:

Sorry I don't know enough of the c++ standard to figure out whether it is
because of Visual C++ or it is because of boost. But I think it is worth to
raise it to the experts out here.

Thanks
