Confirmed in 1.33.0, the issue has already been fixed in preparation of 
1.33.1, but since that isn't available yet, one temporary fix would be to 
define BOOST_REGEX_RECURSIVE in boost/regex/user.hpp and rebuild everything. 
Otherwise grab a copy of current cvs for the "RC_1_33_0" branch.

Hope this helps,

John.
