Could you post the smallest possible complete program that reproduces
the error?

Bug description:
There is an error when one wants to assign a Function to a new one:

Function copy = orig;

or

Function copy(orig);

raise both an error as

/scratch-second/priesen/FEniCS/build/include/boost/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.hpp:412: 
typename boost::detail::shared_ptr_traits<T>::reference 
boost::shared_ptr< <template-parameter-1-1> >::operator*() const [with T 
= dolfin::GenericVector]: Assertion `px != 0' failed.

(this=0x7fff047d2810, v=@0x7fff047d29c0) at

Workaround:

use

Function copy(V_orig);
copy.vector() = orig.vector();
