[Boost-users] Problem with 1.34 Regex Package

Hi, all!

I am a bit of a newbie, so forgive if this has already been covered.

The 1.34 regex package (or at least my build of it on FC6) appears to be
broken.  Please consider the following:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <boost/regex.hpp>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

    boost::regex rl("ab");
    boost::regex ru("AB");

    bool pass = regex_search("ab", rl);
    std::cout << std::boolalpha << pass << std::endl;
    pass = regex_search("AB", ru);
    std::cout << std::boolalpha << pass << std::endl;

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;

}

When built with 1.33 (as delivered with FC6), both tests return true.
When built under 1.34 (downloaded and built), the uppercase test returns
false.  Yuck.

Am I missing something? (probably...)
