[Boost-users] circular_buffer iterator problem

Hi,
   I have a boost svn trunk checkout (latest one). It seems boost 
circular_buffer has a iterator problem for converting from non const to 
const iterator, on visual studio 7.1 (2003) release build only.
Can someone check for it ? (It used to work on boost 1.34)

for eg,
using namespace boost::assign;
        typedef boost::circular_buffer<int> CB;
        std::vector<int> v; v+=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12;
   CB buf(10,v.begin(),v.end());	
        CB::iterator it = buf.begin();
        CB::const_iterator it1 = buf.begin();/// This line doesn't compile on 
release build only.

a second (and little different) question,
why boost::assign doesn't work with circular_buffer directly which has 2 
iterator construct like most other STL containers ?

thanks
abir
