I've attached a trivial patch to circular buffer which should allow it to be default constructed (and copy from an existing buffer) without making the default constructor cause an insane request to allocate a huge amount of memory (and fail to throw an std::bad_alloc). I personally think this is a show stopper bug in Boost 1.35.0 and the patch is distributed under the Boost C++ License Version 1.0. Should this be applied to be made part of 1.35.1? -- Dean Michael C. Berris Software Engineer, Friendster, Inc.
