I think I found a possible reason. The Spirit branches in the Boost CVS 
repository include also enough of Boost to make it possible to use 
Spirit without the full Boost distribution. This appears to be 
incompatible with the current 1.34 RC, at least where the Borland 
compiler is involved.

In contrast the Spirit-Only distribution contains just
/boost/boost/spirit.hpp
/boost/boost/spirit/
/boost/libs/spirit/

I see three alternatives now:
- I post my patched Spirit-Only somewhere, but I don't have an ftp site
   available;
- You download Spirit-Only from the Spirit only site and patch it;
- You remove the unnecessary directory and files from what you already
   have;

I'm attaching the Python script I used to patch my distribution, in case 
you chose the second option.

I'm sorry about all this. I set up my environment almost a year ago and 
forgot everything about it.

Cheers,
