Only thing is when I compile your code (after some modifications for b/c of
namespace std usage) on the current CVS I get:

test2.cpp: In function `int main()':
test2.cpp:14: no matching function for call to
`boost::posix_time::ptime::ptime(time_t&)'
/home/jeff/devTools/boost_cvs/boost/date_time/posix_time/ptime.hpp:28:
candidates are: boost::posix_time::ptime::ptime(const boost::posix_time::ptime&)
/home/jeff/devTools/boost_cvs/boost/date_time/posix_time/ptime.hpp:41:       
         boost::posix_time::ptime::ptime(const boost::posix_time::int64_time_rep&)
/home/jeff/devTools/boost_cvs/boost/date_time/posix_time/ptime.hpp:38:       
         boost::posix_time::ptime::ptime(boost::gregorian::date)
/home/jeff/devTools/boost_cvs/boost/date_time/posix_time/ptime.hpp:35:       
         boost::posix_time::ptime::ptime(boost::gregorian::date,
boost::posix_time::time_duration)

So which compiler is doing this conversion for you?
