The current regression test results show two similar failures of 
program_options on cw9.3

The situation is the following:

parsers.hpp contain:

    template<class charT>
    basic_parsed_options<charT>
    parse_config_file(std::basic_istream<charT>&, const options_description&);

parsers.cpp contain:

  template<class charT>
    basic_parsed_options<charT>
    parse_config_file(std::basic_istream<charT>& is, 
                      const options_description& desc)
    {    
       ........
    }

    template
    BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_DECL basic_parsed_options<char>
    parse_config_file(std::basic_istream<char>& is, 
                      const options_description& desc);

And the linker can't find the explicitly instantinated function. This happens 
only in _dll tests, so I'd suspect a bug in the compiler/linker. 

Can anybody sched the light on this?

Thanks,
