RE: [boost] VC6 strikes again

I have reproduced this bug, it appears to be an issue only with the
Processor Pack, VC6 SP4 works fine.

I'm almost positive this is a code generation problem.  It's not much of a
workaround, but disabling inlining makes the problem go away (-Ob0).

Another workaround may be possible with #pragma optimize or #pragma
auto_inline, but I couldn't come up with one quickly.  These pragma's don't
work well with templates, so a workaround of this sort may not be possible.

I don't get the INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR. Just the following. I appear to
have the same compiler:

cd c:/boost/libs/regex/demo/jgrep/
nmake -fvc6.mak
