Your feedback is very helpful at least as a sanity test of my results!
 As mentioned in another post I have tried and so far failed to tweak
the Release build into a usable state.  We have identified some less
complicated variations on our make_recursive_variant typedef which
seem OK.  Unfortunately this complicates other areas of our app but
for now that's our best workaround.  Many thanks for your help.
