Comment:

 Thanks for the report. It's a bug.

 To get a workaround, modify allocate_many_and_construct() function of
 boost/container/detail/node_alloc_holder.hpp file so that if "n" is zero,
 no code is executed. This function should do nothing if "difference_type
 n" argument is zero (as it's your case, since the source container is
 empty.
