> You say yourself that a simple test program succeeds. The bug materializes
only in your production code. This scenario begs for the steps for
reproduce the bug. If you cannot reproduce it then you shouldn't suggest
that it's a bug in boost. If the same code succeeds in a simple test
program then it cannot be a bug in boost IMHO.
