The short answer is "yes", John.  If I comment out the line that ends up
needing regex - i.e.

// bool bb = validate_card_format("1111 2222 3333 4444");

then the app builds and runs fine in either mode.  In fact I've been working
on this app for around 7 weeks and it only went wrong after I added those
(fairly minor) regex additions.

Having said that, this isn't a simple Windows app because I'm using
gtk-win32 (rather than MFC) to provide the GUI.  It's getting a bit late
here (UK time) and I'm a bit too tired to keep working but first thng
tomorrow, I'll build a very simple console app and see if I get the same
problem.  Thanks for your suggestions.

In the meantime (just out of curiosity) what is the significance of the
letter "g" in:-

libboost_regex-vc80-mt-gd-1_40.lib

I would have guessed at the equivalent Debug lib being called:-

libboost_regex-vc80-mt-d-1_40.lib

or

libboost_regex-vc80-mtd-1_40.lib

BTW - No....  BOOST_REGEX_DYN_LINK isn't defined and if I "hide" the DLLs,
the Release build still runs okay - so it must be linking statically.
