[Boost-users] [BGL] dfs on graphs with bundled-properties

I am trying to use an adjacency list with bundled properties and running 
into lots of problems.  I'm wondering if bundled properties is mature 
enough, or if I should resort to the older style using property maps.  
Here's a description of one problem I've run into:

So I define my graph class with bundled properties as so:

   struct MyV {
      int numStars;
   };

   struct MyE {
      int numStars;
   };

   typedef  adjacency_list<setS, setS, bidirectionalS, MyV, MyE>  MyGraph;

I would like to perform dfs on this graph.

So I have a very simple visitor defined:

   struct star_visitor : public boost::default_dfs_visitor
   {
     template <class Vertex, class Graph> void
     start_vertex(Vertex v, const Graph &)
     {
       std::cout << 'start';
     }
     template <class Vertex, class Graph> void
     discover_vertex(Vertex v, const Graph &)
     {
       std::cout << "*";
     }
     template <class Vertex, class Graph> void
     finish_vertex(Vertex v, const Graph &)
     {
       std::cout << 'finish';
     }
   };

Then in my main function, I make a MyGraph object and put in vertices 
and edges, and assign property values.  That works fine.

   MyGraph g;
   MyGraph::vertex_descriptor v1 = addVertex(g);
   MyGraph::vertex_descriptor v2 = addVertex(g);
   MyGraph::edge_descriptor e2 = addEdge(v1, v2, g);

   g[*v1].numStars = 100;
   g[*v2].numStars = 2;
   g[*e1].numStars = 7;

Then I perform dfs on my graph

   depth_first_search(g, visitor(star_vis));

And I get the following errors.  I don't get these errors and my program 
compiles fine if I do a dfs with my star_visitor on a graph with no 
properties.
