We're not testing that platform/compiler combination there. Can you see if you can reproduce the issue on release? As it stands, I can't justify holding up 1.45 for this issue, so I'm knocking it's severity down to "Problem" and changing the milestone to "TBD". </p> Ticket Emil Dotchevski Wed, 20 Jun 2012 00:12:26 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4768#comment:3 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4768#comment:3 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> Just tested on MinGW, gcc 4.6.1, all tests pass. Marking this bug as resolved, please reopen if the crash reoccurs (if I have to speculate it was a compiler bug.) </p> Ticket
