Compile error with boost::tokenizer and Forte 6U2

Hi,

I'm trying to use boost::tokenizer to tokenize colon-separated strings
of the form "path1:path2:path3...".

I wrote the following simple test program:
#include <string>
#include "boost/tokenizer.hpp"

void func()
{
  std::string s("abc:def:ghi");

  boost::char_delimiters_separator<char> tokenizerFunc(false, "", ":");
  boost::tokenizer<boost::char_delimiters_separator<char> >
    tokenizer(s, tokenizerFunc);
}

However, this fails to compile with the Sun Forte 6U2 compiler.  It
spews out the following error messages:

Am I using the class incorrectly, or is this a genuine problem?
