Thanks Bronek!

We now need to decide what we're going to do with these :-)

Looking through the logs it seems there are a lot of spurious messages - 
references to dereferencing a NULL pointer in shared_ptr from Boost.Test, 
but when you actually look at the code I'm certain that can't happen. 
Likewise in regex the following code:

std::string result(10, ' ');

Produces a NULL-pointer dereference warning inside basic_string!

So... lot's of good old fashioned brainpower required to interpret the 
results.

Probably the one thing we can't do is make these errors.

John.
