[C++-sig] crash with gcc 3.0.4

[Robert Andre]

I had previously posted a message which contained some problems I had
been experiencing with boost/gcc/linux.  The suggestion of using the
latest python 2.2 release fixed the pickle test failures - thanks.  
The other two problems are not boost related but irritating nonetheless:
  1) exceptions sometimes loose their type information so error
     messages are lost (weird).
  2) segmentation fault in ostringstream called from boost when using
     cross module support.

I can't seem to reduce the first to a simple test case but the segmentation
fault wasn't too hard.  It fails on both a linux mandrake kernel 2.2/gcc 3.0.4
and linux redhat 7.1/gcc 3.0.2 (rpm), both dual processor machines.  For 
anybody who is interested in it I posted a small set of files on 
http://w3.pppl.gov/~randre/bomb.tgz  which builds two shared libraries and 
two dynamic libraries.  You have to change a couple of lines in the makefile 
to reflect the location of your includes and library.  One python script runs 
(ok.py) and the other crashes (bomb.py) depending on the order of loading of 
the external modules.
