I've applied the patch to the 1.34 branch, applying the patch to cvs HEAD 
gives me some errors:

$ patch -p1 -i kab*.patch

<snip...>

patching file libs/iostreams/doc/tree/tree.css
Hunk #1 FAILED at 1.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file 
libs/iostreams/doc/tree/tree.css.rej

<snip...>

patching file libs/iostreams/test/putback_test.hpp
Hunk #2 FAILED at 11.
1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file 
libs/iostreams/test/putback_test.hpp.rej

Maybe if you just let me have the "correct" versions of those two files, and 
I'll retest HEAD and commit if it's OK?

I've marked ticket 971 as fixed, but there appear to be at least two other 
tickets on the same issue: can you look at these and confirm if they've been 
fixed or not?

They are: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/953

and

http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/955

At the same time there are quite a few open tickets from 1.33.1 relating to 
the iostreams library, should someone want to try and fix them - but 
probably not for 1.34.1 :-)
