I can't get your program to fail.

And the "std:endl" makes me wonder how did you get this program to
compile ;-) Can you please post a program that:
1. Compilers
2. Fails (at least sometimes)
3. Specify version of Boost, compiler, OS version.

That's the only chance for the problem to be fixed. If I can get it fail on
my Linux box, I can look into it.
