     Type:  Bugs                               |      Status:  new         
Milestone:  To Be Determined                   |   Component:  lexical_cast
  Version:  Boost 1.51.0                       |    Severity:  Problem     
 Keywords:  lexical_cast unsigned              |  
-----------------------------------------------+----------------------------
 With gcc 4.2.4, a lexical_cast from negative number strings to an unsigned
 causes a bad_lexical_cast exception. With gcc 4.7.1 and 4.7.2, the value
 interpreted as positive integer is assigned instead.
 This bug occurs with Boost 1.33 and 1.51 on Open Suse and Solaris 10.
