Hello,

concerning Boost.Spirit regressions, ticket #6126 "Signed integer members 
of Boost.Fusion adapted ADTs are not output correctly with 
Boost.Spirit.Karma rules" <https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6126> 
has a patch. It fixes the problem for g++ and clang++ in the Boost 
library -- even though it is suspected that the original code is correct 
and a compiler error is the real source of the problem. The problem 
didn't occur with MSVC.

Best regards,

Torsten Maehne
