Unfortunately I cannot grok boost::bind error, but this code seems really
simple.  If I change the code so that an int is passed to async_discovery,
the program compiles.  The problem seems to be centered around passing a
boost::bind as a template argument.  Any help would be appreciated.

Here is the code...

#include 

class antix_discovery_service {
public:
  template <typename Handler>
  void start_async_discovery(Handler handler)
  {
  }

  /// Asynchronously resolve a query to a list of entries.
  template <typename Handler>
  void async_discovery(Handler handler)
  {
    boost::bind(&antix_discovery_service::template
start_async_discovery<Handler>,
        this, handler)();
  }

private:
  int ttt;
};

class test
{
public:
  void do_it()
  {
  }
};

int main()
{
  antix_discovery_service ads;
  test t;
  ads.async_discovery(boost::bind<void>(&test::do_it, t));
  return 0;
}

and here is the error...
