You must be using VC7 :-)

The problem occurs if you do something like this:

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

It's a bug in the compiler and there is no workaround, except, don't put a 
"using namespace std;" statement before including the regex header - or 
include it before any header that does that.

I'm at a loss as to why multi-index should trigger this problem, I hope it 
doesn't include global using statements like that.  But either way, try 
including the regex header first and see if that fixes things.
