Good.  

I have uploaded 1.40 to Debian already, so I'm not inclined to
spend a lot of time fixing this bug.  

On the other hand, the 1.40 packages will probably be in the new queue
for some weeks and 1.39 is the current default boost for debian.  So I
am inclined to upload a fix if a patch were supplied.

As you say, similar bugs have been reported before; e.g. #543576.  I
just verified that the minimal test case in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477131 is fixed in
1.39.0-4.  I'd appreciate a test case that displays the present
bug.

Thanks,
-Steve
