Unfortunately, I can't duplicate this on VC6 (everything works as expected 
there), and I don't have VC7 to try.

For CVS versions, you'll probably want to look here instead:
  http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/cs-win32-diff.html

It'll get fixed by the next release. How long it takes depends on the 
strangeness of the bug (and whether or not the nightly regression tests will 
reproduce the problem).
