As per upstream bug:
Building LibreOffice with its internal boost version (1.44) evades the bug on quantal. It works fine with boost 1.48 on precise, so its a regression.
Using internal boost for LibreOffice is workaround, but not a good one:
- there was a hickup in the build with 1.44 (I had to rebuild codemaker manually once for the build to complete. Though that might be fixable).
- it would need careful reexamination of the interfaces between LibreOffice and its close deps for boost classes that might be incompatible between boost versions
- boost 1.49 would still broken on quantal
- as this is a heisenbug is possibly affects a _lot_ of apps unknowingly
- there is no working alternative on quantal

As this is a regression between 1.48 and 1.49 I had a look at the diff in boost/unordered, but its 1.5 KLOC of heavy template code, so so obvious quick fix from my side.

@doko: Can we have 1.48 on quantal too as a nonbroken boost implementation?
