This one has been driving me nuts all day. In a function I have the following:

std::list< boost::shared_ptr<MyObject> > * objectList;

An uninitialized pointer to a list of shared pointers to MyObject is probably not what you wanted, but its what you defined. I don't think you bug has anything to do with shared pointers...

When debugging my code, the debugger (gdb) dies upon entering the function with this in it. It says "The Debugger has exited due to signal 11 (SIGSEGV).The Debugger has exited due to signal 11 (SIGSEGV)." My dev tools felt the need to say it twice for some reason. I pulled this out and put it in a new project all by itself with the same result.

If I make it not be a pointer, like this:

std::list< boost::shared_ptr<MyObject> > objectList;

then there's no problem.
