Hi,

I started updating an application from Boost 1.35.  It had a few compiler 
errors with 1.44, and things got worse with 1.48.

While tracing down the new issues, problems were found with the 
distributed examples.  For example, the following commands pass with 1.44 
and 1.47 but fail with 1.48 (see attached logs).

$ cd libs/interprocess/example
$ ../../../bjam doc_managed_allocation_command > doc_managed_allocation_command.log
$ ../../../bjam doc_managed_raw_allocation > doc_managed_raw_allocation.log

All 1.44, 1.47, and 1.48 were built locally from the release source 
tarballs using a simple `./bootstrap.sh; ./bjam`.  The example sources 
haven't changed during this period; so this may be a portability issue 
with the interprocess library itself.

Here's some more info on the system.

Summary     : C++ support for GCC
Description :
This package adds C++ support to the GNU Compiler Collection.
It includes support for most of the current C++ specification,
including templates and exception handling.

The above commands do pass on release 1.48 when compiled using g++44 from 
the gcc44-c++-4.4.0-6.el5 package.  However, that might not be an option 
for some of my users.

Please let me know if more information is needed to debug the problem, if 
this is a known problem with gcc, etc.

Thanks,
Daniel
