A strange problem about BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT

README

This problem seems to be a boost bug. I am not sure but if I execute this code, it crashes at the end of main().

My build environment is Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit server (kernel 2.6.32), gcc 4.4.3, boost 1.40. Another machine with CentOS (kernel 2.6.18), gcc 4.1.2, and boost 1.41 goes well.

Backtrace is as follows:
