cast.hpp on GCC 2.95.2

We've just upgraded our boost installation here at work only to 
discover that we're getting an INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR from gcc 
2.95.2 whenever we #include <boost/cast.hpp>. This situation is 
unacceptable, of course!

I notice that http://www.boost.org/libs/compiler_status.htm shows 
that cast_test.cpp fails under GCC. Does anyone (e.g. Jens) know if 
the failure mode is INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR? Does anyone have a 
proposed fix?

If we have accepted or are going to accept lexical_cast<>, is it part 
of the casts library? Either way, we should address this soon, and 
certainly before the casts library leaves beta status.
