Comment (by anonymous):

 I just tested on Linux (Ubuntu 10.04.2) with g++ 4.5.3 and did not see the
 problem there.

 So I am only able to reproduce the problem on Mac OS.  Version details in
 my previous comment.

 The underlying cause may be a bug in one of the MacOS/MacPorts libraries
 or it may be due to an incorrect expectation in the Boost code that is not
 met on Mac OS.

 The reason that I suspect a Boost Interprocess issue is that even on the
 Mac platform, one sees no problem using the standard allocator, only the
 shared memory one.
