Boost 1.28 Regex and VC6 link problem

Using Boost 1.28 and regex I get linker errors regarding raw_storage. I
believe someone has brought this up before but I didn't save the previous
answer.

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: class
boost::detail::allocator_adapter<char,class boost::detail::simple_alloc>
__fastcall boost::re_detail::raw_storage<class
boost::detail::allocator_adapter<char,class boost::detail::simple_alloc>
>::allocator(void)const "

re_detail::detail::allocator_adapter<char,class boost::detail::simple_alloc>

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: void * __fastcall

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: void __fastcall

It seems to be related to these lines in instances.hpp

template class re_detail::raw_storage< BOOST_DEFAULT_ALLOCATOR
BOOST_REGEX_CHAR_T) >;

template class BOOST_REGEX_DECL
re_detail::raw_storage<BOOST_DEFAULT_ALLOCATOR(BOOST_REGEX_CHAR_T) >;

Are these lines in error ? Should one or both of them be removed ? My guess
is that the line with BOOST_REGEX_DECL needs to be removed.
