Comment:

 It looks like the change to detail/streambuf/indirect_streambuf.hpp has
 caused a bunch of regression test failures. e.g. from
 http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/iostreams.html :

 From VC10:
 indirect_streambuf.hpp(171) : error C2782: 'const _Ty &std::max(const _Ty
 &,const _Ty &)' : template parameter '_Ty' is ambiguous

 From GCC 4.4.1:
 indirect_streambuf.hpp:171: error: no matching function for call to
 ???max(int, std::streamsize&)??


 Changing line 171 of indirect_streambuf.hpp to cast the '2' to a
 std::streamsize fixes the failures on VC10.
