Hang on: does this mean it didn't work on your MSVC7.1 either? I did 
spend some hours zeroing that down to a small repeatable example for 
you as you always request.

Also, you know as well as I that the whole Boost library always works 
around compiler idiosyncracies where possible. While it isn't 
technically a BP bug, it does interfere with BP's implicit goal of 
being useful on all major compilers.

If it can't be fixed, at least a FAQ entry saying it doesn't work due 
to a bug in MSVC7.1 would be a good idea?

Cheers,
Niall
