Very strange, we do test with MSVC+STLport and I haven't seen that one 
before !  Could this relate to the way you built STLport: maybe with wchar_t 
as a native type?  Boost.Regex assumes that wchar_t is not a native type 
when using STLport, because that's STLport's default behaviour.

Hopefully this gives you some clue...?
