Comment (by Mike Dickey):

 <banging head against the wall>Just for the record: I lost a day and a
 half to this bug too... until I was finally able to figure out what seemed
 to be happening and prove to myself that it wasn't my code that was at
 fault.  Tough one too, because it works fine on some platforms (Windows,
 OSX, etc.) but not others (i.e. Linux).  I agree that this is a really
 nasty bug b/c it makes Boost's behavior non-deterministic across
 platforms, which I thought was part of the whole point...  </banging head
