This seems like the right conclusion -- I think somehow I missed you were
using this old compiler.  The regression tests have all moved on to the
Borland 5.6.4 compiler awhile back -- so you may have uncovered a new problem
we introduced in 1.33.  Even with 5.6.4 the Borland support is only partial --
and the alternative i/o idea I suggested in the last mail definately won't
work.  Anyway, you can see from

http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/1_33_0/user/date_time.html

that there's alot on 5.6.4 that doesn't work. Switching to gcc is a good
approach -- it's basically supports everything except for wide character i/o.
