BTW - I gave up trying to use explicit template instantiation inside a .cpp file.

Dear All,

Thanks for the boost library!

Apparently the boost::flyweight::intermodule_holder on LINUX is creating shared memory objects, which by accident (crash?) can persist after the process having created them is already gone.
As a result I ran into the following situation:
I could not successfully run some code, as it attempted to create an already existing shared memory object created by another user.

Would the following be a solution to this problem:

Use a copy of the code of the static_holder inside another namespace as attached and compile one module with __INCLUDE_HOLDER__ defined and all the rest without this define?
