boost 1.18.2 Alpha woes

Platform:
  Compaq C++ V6.2-024 for Digital UNIX V5.0 (Rev. 910)
  STLport-4.1b3

When using boost 1.18.1 with STLport-4.1b3 to compile
py_cpp_20001102 + rev. 1.3 of pyptr.h (see posting #6240, Re: 
py_cpp_20001102 Alpha woes), all is fine.

When attempting the same compilation with boost 1.18.2, I get the 
error message that is attached.

What could be the problem?

Thanks,
        Ralf
