That looks fine as it stands, but unless you can reduce it to a complete 
test case that I can compile and run here it still doesn't help much.  Also 
what compiler, platform and Boost version are you using?  Also please check 
that there isn't some binary-compatibity issue going on: building your app 
with different options than Boost was built with, or linking to a library 
file that's from a different Boost version to the headers you're #including 
etc...
