This is a complex boost change, not a change in POV-Ray. Please read the 
*boost* documentation, as this is not a POV-Ray issue! Do no use boost 1.35 
or later with the current POV-Ray 3.7 beta source code if you want a 
functional executable. The fact that a program compiles and links does not 
make it function correctly. There is nothing wrong with either boost 1.36 or 
POV-Ray 3.7, you just have to use the correct version of boost. Use boost 
1.34 with the current POV-Ray 3.7 beta source code.
