Comment (by matt@…):

 Further investigation has revealed that this is a bug in libcxx, not
 boost. The fix is here:

 https://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-

 project/libcxx/trunk/include/streambuf?annotate=165884

 basically, the 0xff in the data was incorrectly passed by libcxx through
 to indirect_streambuf::overflow, causing it to be interpreted as an EOF
 (and rejected).

 Please close this bug.
