Assertion tripped in boost::uniform_int

Hello.  I just experienced an assertion failure using the 
boost::minstd_rand generator:

/home/packages/boost_1_29_0/boost/random/uniform_int.hpp:50: 
boost::uniform_int<UniformRandomNumberGenerator, IntType>::uniform_int 
(UniformRandomNumberGenerator &, IntType, IntType) [with 
UniformRandomNumberGenerator = boost::random::linear_congruential<int32_t, 
48271, 0, 2147483647, 399268537>, IntType = int]: Assertion `min < max' 
failed.

I use the following code to generate random numbers:

typedef boost::minstd_rand RngType;
extern RngType pseudo_rng;

template <class T>
T random(T min, T max)
{
  boost::random_number_generator<RngType, T> rng(pseudo_rng);
  return rng(max - min + 1) + min;
}

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a fault in the uniform_int 
algorithm?

Thanks,
Matt.
