Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #704: format zero length string msvc-8

Logged In: NO
According to the C++ standard, basic_string<char>::append(0, 0) returns
basic_string<char>::append(basic_string<char>(0,0))
The standard specifically says the pointer shall not be a null.
So I believe that this was a bug in the boost format library, rather than a problem with the MSVC library.

This will also happen with an empty string (instead of just a character array/pointer)
std::string my_string;
(boost::format("%1%") % my_string).str();

This appear to be fixed (and tested for) in SVN Trunk. So I'm closing the issue down: please reopen if it resurfaces.
