milestone Boost 1.42.0 → Boost 1.43.0

I provided a simple test case that demonstrates the problem. Just compile "weak_ptr.cpp", adapt the imports and run the python script, and you will get

> python testWeakPtr.py
python: /home/olenz/projects/espresso++/src/trunk/contrib/boost/boost/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.hpp:409: T* boost::shared_ptr< <template-parameter-1-1> >::operator->() const [with T = A]: Assertion `px != 0' failed.
Aborted

I confirm this bug with boost 1.49. Perhaps should be goal version updated?
