That's new one on me: frankly I have no idea what's going on, except that 
these kinds of issues are often caused by binary compatibility issues: any 
chance your executable is being built with options that aren't compatible 
with the .so your linking against?  You could also try:

Add the regex source (libs/regex/src/*.cpp) directly to your project and see 
if that fixes the issue, if not at least you'll be able to better debug the 
issue :-)

You could also try defining BOOST_REGEX_NO_EXTERNAL_TEMPLATES when building 
your app to suppress linking against the template instances in the .so, this 
will make the application larger, but may be enough to suppress binary 
compatibility issues.

Hopefully this will be enough for you to get to the bottom of this,

John.
