There's something compiler dependent going on here:

Try applying changeset [55722] in trunk: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/55722/trunk/libs/signals2/doc/sni... it fixes the problem with mingw gcc3 for me at least. Apparently, some compilers set an error bit when you call the close method of a default constructed ofstream, and some don't.
