10949	crash in boost.format, vs2013, /RTCc, x86	david x callaway <dxc@…>	Samuel Krempp	"win 7/64, boost-1.57.0, compiled to 32 bit
note: this bug has been here since at least boost-1.48.

code:
{{{
// compile cl -I/path/to/boost -EHsc -Od -RTCc t.cpp
#include ""boost/format.hpp""
#include <string>
int main(int argc, const char** argv)
{
    const int i(200);
    std::string s(boost::str(boost::format(""x:%1%,y]"")%i));
    return 0;
}
}}}

what happens:
runtime check fails at feed_args.cpp:200 (cast of an __int64 to unsigned int).

proposed patch:
