  Hi,

In my current project boost::regex was used previously from version v3 
(boost 1.30.2) and there was no problem.
Because I use a third party SDK that contains boost 1.33.1 I want to use 
boost and regex (v4) from this SDK.
In the project there is a source file that includes "boost/regex.hpp". 
In the release version the file compiles, but in the debug version I get 
a lot of errors like:

char_regex_traits.hpp(34) : error C2976: 'boost::regex_traits' : too few 
template arguments
/basic_regex.hpp(186) : error C2825: 'traits': must be a class or 
namespace when followed by '::'
basic_regex.hpp(186) : error C2039: 'size_type' : is not a member of 
'`global namespace''

I have now removed the preprocessor definition '_DEBUG' from the VC8 
project that contains the source file but this makes no difference.
Is there any idea what's going on here ?
