Oh, I see... Thank you for this clarification! I didn't know that VC8.0 has such an issue.
Well, the copy ctors are indeed protecetd except for those *defective* compilers for which the Boost.Config macro BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_FRIENDS is set, among which are MSVC 8.0 and older (which I guess include the one you're using).
