I don't really know what the issue is, but the failure is inside 
std::vector's destructor, my guess is this indicates maybe two different 
runtime libraries are in play or something?

What I suggest you do is remove the reference to the regex library in your 
test app, and instead add the regex source (in libs/regex/src/) directly to 
your app.  If that then builds and runs without issues then you know the 
problem is with binary compatibility somewhere.  Then all we have to do is 
track down where/why !

HTH, John.
