Thanks.
The Borland bug we are trying to work around can be seen in the
following example:

namespace A
{
    struct duplicate {};
}

namespace B
{
    using namespace A;
    struct duplicate {};
}

The compiler will erroneously complain that B::duplicate is a
redefinition of A::duplicate.

In this case, the using namesspace boost;  inside namespace boost_132
is causing duplicates of the shared_ptr classes, which are #included
inside Test library.

The patch I gave yesterday solved the problem for me, I am not sure why
it does not work for Robert.  I am now looking for more places I might
have missed namespace using directives.

If you can apply my patch and try the shared_ptr_132 tests, I'd be
interested in the results.
