Hmm, I just tried to run the test for borland-5.8.2 too.
It is failing badly (access violations with manual confirmation dialog 
box). This also appears from regression.py .

The results in the status pages gives very surprising results in this 
case: unexpectedly passing!

What I found out from trying from within the IDE is, that there are some 
exceptions (which are not seen when run from the command line) before 
the crash. It is triggered from the file cpp_regex_traits.hpp:

       // Borland's STLPort version returns a NULL-terminated
       // string that has garbage at the end - each call to
       // std::collate<wchar_t>::transform returns a different string!
       // So as a workaround, we'll truncate the string at the first NULL
       // which _seems_ to work....
#if BOOST_WORKAROUND(__BORLANDC__, < 0x600)
       result.erase(result.find(charT(0)));
#else

from result.erase
The exception thrown is std::out_of_range .

You have marked this as a linker problem?
