Hmmm, no I don't know what the issue is: but for some reason we have more 
issues with STLport than anything else :-(

My suggestion would be to build the regex library using the supplied 
libs/regex/build/gcc.mak: suitably modified to add all the compiler options 
you are going to be using when building your application, hopefully that way 
the library and your application will actually be compatible with each 
other! ;-)

HTH, John.
