FWIW, I have reported g++ bugs in the past that made boost::shared_ptr
misbehave, and they did get acknowledged and fixed, so this might still be
worth a try. I did not need to distill it down to an example that did not
#include anything Boost, although I think I did follow
(that is, I did include self-contained preprocessed output.)
