This is likely the same issue that came up yesterday (!), the extended 
capture information is optional (see 
http://www.boost.org/libs/regex/doc/captures.html) to use it both your code 
and Boost.Regex must be compiled with BOOST_REGEX_MATCH_EXTRA defined.  The 
best place to define it is in boost/regex/user.hpp BTW then you can't forget 
it :-)

HTH, John.
