There was a detailed report (<c3sbiq$2e7$1_at_[hidden]>) in march of a
failure on Linux/Alpha platform, and thanks to the reporter I applied
the fix to CVS (some forgottem member variable was left with type int
whereas everything else was made as if it were std::streamsize..) 

so you can try overwriting the boost/format/ directory with a fresh copy
from CVS and see if the problem goes away (it should).
