On further investigation, it looks like there's something weird that
boost is doing that's causing it to get expanded in a template that
uses FILE rather than FILE*. Not clear why but this is probably a bug
in boost. Maybe someone who understands C++ better could advise.
BTW, any idea what happened to your mail to the list? It seems to have
gotten lost.
