Sorry, I've been insanely busy...I missed your first mail.

Are you compiling with bjam or in the IDE?  I'm suspecting the IDE b/c most of
the library compiles and builds on the VC6 regression platforms.  There was a
change in 1.33 to the facet code that VC6 can't compile and requires a new
macro setting so that VC6 will use the old I/O code.  Here's the relevant
section from the build notes in case I'm guessing correctly:

  As of version 1.33, the date_time library introduced a new IO streaming
  system. Some compilers are not capable of utilizing this new system. For 
  those compilers the earlier ("legacy") IO system is still available.
  Non-supported compilers will select the legacy system automatically but 
  the user can force the usage of the legacy system by defining  
  USE_DATE_TIME_PRE_1_33_FACET_IO.

Whole thing is at:

HTH,

Jeff

ps: if that's not it please send me the whole bjam log in a private email and
we will look at it.
