Comment (by dario.izzo@…):

 OK, then if this is a design choice, it would be nice to have a warning or
 an exception be thrown rather then an infinite loop produced (also because
 the behavior has changed since boost 1.46 (and my code was counting on the
 previous behavior :)

 NOTE: I can actually see many reasons to allow min==max and return min,
 but I guess this  choice has already been made ....

 Thanks for taking the time to answer so promptly
