Yes.  I'm sure the report is just out-of-date.

But why are you testing for the exact version 0x564?  I'm sure 5.5.1
is also broken.  Do you know that 5.6.5 (or whatever) won't also be
broken?  If not, you want

       BOOST_WORKAROUND(__BORLANDC__, BOOST_TESTED_AT(0x564))

Didn't I already post something about that a couple days ago?
