That would be my guess at this point too.  The fact that the example fails
means something is really off. I just compiled 1_32 with mingw dev-cpp with
compiler version 3.3.1.  The regression tests also succeed for your
combination. More than likely it would have to be something messed up in
boost/date_time/date_generators.hpp -- so you could try just getting the
latest version of that file and replacing it.
