[Boost-users] Compatibility between shared_ptr and Rational RoseRT

Does anyone know of a compatibility problem between the use of the Boost 
shared_ptr class and Rational RoseRT (real-time version of Rational Rose). 

We are having problems with intermittent crashes (not repeatable), and the 
crash dump debugger always indicates a problem while destroying objects 
that were held in existence by a shared_ptr  - The underlying objects are 
of many different classes. We are never destroying the objects explicitly, 
but let the shared_ptr object take care of this when the last pointer to 
an object is deleted.

When running the executable under Rational Purify, it reports many FIM 
errors (Freeing Invalid Memory), and all of these are again due to the 
deletion of objects that were owned by a shared_ptr. 

Any help would be very much appreciated 
Dave
