Comment(by ts337@…):

 As far as I can tell,
 the following lines of code should work, but don't:

     boost::mt19937 rng(3u);
     boost::poisson_distribution<> po_dist(0.7);
     cout <<"Po var: " << po_dist(rng)<<endl;

 As far as I can tell, poisson_distribution::operator()(Engine& eng)
 results in an infinite loop.

 So should probably be fixed before documenting?
