Comment(by k_karanikolas_at_[hidden]):

 I investigated a little bit further which version triggers the error, and
 it appears to be 4.1.0.

 I compiled a stock gcc-4.1.0, and the error is still there.
 {{{

 Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/home/kostas/local/ --enable-

 }}}

 Ubuntu's gcc-4.1.3 however, does not trigger this error
 {{{

 }}}

 Unfortunately, I am using 4.1.0 not by choice, but because the community
 supported compiler/toolset for my target platform (PSP) is based on stock
 gcc-4.1.0 plus some back-end patches. I'll try to apply the patches to the
 latest of the 4.1 line and see if the problem is still there.
 At any rate I think this issue can potentially "bite" someone using 4.1.0.

 Also in the mailing list archives, (http://lists.boost.org/boost-

 users/2008/07/38112.php) I've found something that resembles the errors
 I'm getting. So it maybe possible to construct a workaround to what
 appears to be a compiler bug.

 Thanks again,

 Kostas
