This is a known issue in 1.33.1 when running on a Chinese (and possibly 
other MBCS) locale.  I believe it's fixed in cvs.

See 
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=207586&aid=1358740&group_id=7586

and the patch is: 
http://boost.cvs.sourceforge.net/boost/boost/libs/regex/src/w32_regex_traits.cpp?r1=1.44&r2=1.44.2.1

HTH, John.
