Comment (by joaquin):

 Hi Michael,

 Sorry about my late answering, I wasn't monitoring the email inbox these
 tickets notify to.

 As for your problem, I ''think'' it is a rather bug having to do with
 `boost::interprocess:offset_ptr` convertibility machinery. I'll ty to
 isolate this into something I can go with to Boost.Interprocess's author.
 In the meantime, please try replacing line 37 of
 boost/multi_index/detail/raw_ptr.hpp:

 {{{
   return p==Pointer(0)?0:&*p;
 }}}
 with
 {{{
   return !p?0:&*p;

 }}}
 Could you please report back if this solves your problem? Thanks for
 spotting this bug.
