[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#538946: Acknowledgement (Valgrind reports access to freed memory from Boost.Test.)

  I'm not sure I believe my initial diagnosis now.  I attempted a
simple recreation of the deletion that seemed to be at the core of
the valgrind errors, and I came up blank -- no errors from either
valgrind or efence.

  On the other hand, I don't think this is just a problem with
valgrind, since efence (based on a totally different and much simpler
technique) also flags a problem.

  In short, I'm at a bit of a loss as to what's actually going on.
That said, my fix/workaround actually does eliminate the memory errors
that I get...I just haven't figured out why yet.  (if I'm feeling
ambitious, maybe I'll give disassembly a shot...)
