1) I think I have to write: it is volunteer work - the ticket is opened
one week ago. We appreciate your usage of Boost.Geometry and the
feedback too, but take care not to transfer the pressure you feel to us
volunteers... At least not to soon.
But I looked.
2) Menelaos send a sample program which works for him, and works for me.
Did you try that program? He also asked
> Do you think you can reproduce the problem in a standalone program?
but you did not answer that question. Actually the whole mail was
unanswered.
3) you already mention that your input is invalid - so you should be
able to workaround the problem probably easily.
4) you include a stack-trace (thanks for that) but things have been
changed, get_situation_map is gone from enrich_intersection_points, and
so might be the whole problem. This is by chance released this week
So my new question is: does it work for you in 1.57?
5) Valentin reports:

but that may indeed never be the case in that sort functor. source_index
should be either 0 or 1. If it indeed has another value, this indicates
an error. But I cannot find or reproduce this error (I used MSVC on the
old version, and the new version with clang and valgrind).
