Summary: Bug: CMS Swap

Initial Comment:
In Version 1.1 the CMS Swap does not work correctly. The problem is located in the constructor 

BlackVanillaOptionPricer::BlackVanillaOptionPricer(Rate forwardValue, 
                                                                                  Date expiryDate, 
                                                                                  const Period& swapTenor, 
                                                                                  const boost::shared_ptr<SwaptionVolatilityStructure>& volatilityStructure ) 


where the member variable smile_ should be initialized with the result from volatilityStructure_->smileSection(expiryDate_, swapTenor_). 
As far as I can see inside the function volatilityStructure_->smileSection(expiryDate_, swapTenor_) everything is constructed correctly.

But as soon as the result is copied into smile_ some of the data are not set.
In particular the variable exerciseTime_ is a huge negative number causing an error later on.

Message:
Weird.  The result shouldn't even be _copied_ into smile_; only a pointer
to the smile section should be copied.

Do you have some code that reproduces the problem?

Message:
Even in release mode the results are not convincing. Recomputation of a
cms-swap produces two different results. The cashflow table of the CMS-Leg
is completely wrong.

Seems only to appear in Debug Mode (Static XL).
