[Boost-users] lexical_cast problem with OS X gcc -fast option

If I compile the following code (test.cc):

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

#include "boost/lexical_cast.hpp"

int main() {

        int i;
        std::string s("3");

        try {
                
                i = boost::lexical_cast<int>(s);

        } catch (boost::bad_lexical_cast& e) {
                std::cerr << "Error in conversion\n";
        }
}

with the "-fast" and "-mcpu=G4" options for gcc 3.3 on MacOS X 10.4.5, like so:

g++ -I. -ggdb -fast -mcpu=G4 test.cc -o test

I get a Bus error when I run the compiled program.  I do not get this
error when I omit the "-fast -mcpu=G4" options.  Here is the trace
from gdb:

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
