[Joris Mooij]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libboost1.37-dev

The header file boost/dynamic_bitset.hpp in libboost1.37-dev fails to
compile with g++ 4.3.3 on Ubuntu 9.04.

Software versions affected:
Ubuntu 9.04, with packages 'libboost1.37-dev' and 'g++' installed
apt-cache policy libboost1.37-dev returns version 1.37.0-3ubuntu3
apt-cache policy g++ returns version 4:4.3.3-1ubuntu1

Reproducing the problem:
$ echo '#include <boost/dynamic_bitset.hpp>' > a.cpp
$ g++ --version
g++ (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) 4.3.3
[...]
$ g++ a.cpp
In file included from /usr/include/boost/dynamic_bitset.hpp:15,
                 from a.cpp:1:
