I provided a complete test case in my original message; you might have
missed it because of the way I presented it.

The code is:

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/regex.hpp>
using namespace std;
using namespace boost;

int main() {
    cout << regex_match("a", regex(".*")) << endl;
    cout << regex_match("a", regex(".*?")) << endl;
}

When I compile and run this, it prints:

1
0

It really should print two 1's.  Try the same thing using the Perl
interpreter, which does print two 1's.
