Its having trouble deciding between the 2 and 3 template argument overloads of 
boost::contains.  You can resolve it by explicitly decaring a function 
pointer:

bool (*contains_p)(const std::string &, const std::string &) = 
&boost::contains<string, string>;

boost::bind2nd( contains_p , "mp" ) );
