Dear John,

I have done a mistake in the answer to your following
assertion:

By the destructor of the object, I meant some
mechanism
for "realeasing" the contained object whithin 
boost::shared_ptr<>. Silly! Not?

So the true answer is not to forget to call the
reset()
member function for every shared_ptr<>, before the end
of it's scope.

Thanks,
