VC6 strikes again

Hi all,

I've a report that the regex library doesn't build with VC6sp4 when the
latest processor pack is applied (see below).  Can anyone reproduce this? 
Does anyone have any ideas? And are there other boost libraries effected by
this "patch" (I suspect that there will be)?

Right now I'm flummuxed by this, and can't see any way to fix the errors,

Thanks in advance
