If you're looking at silencing warnings from Format, is there any chance you
could look at http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1510 ? It can produce some
pretty substantial warnings as well.

On another note (and i apologize for the noise in advance if i'm making things
up here) - when i looked at the call stack for the warnings, i noticed

void raise_error(const char* function, const char* message, const T& val)
{
  if(function == 0)
       function = "Unknown function";
...
  msg += (boost::format(function) % typeid(T).name()).str();

in math\error_handling.hpp
Does that need to be something like 
       function = "Unknown function %1%";
For the format call to work?
