Do you mean without? The regression tests with the SGI library look
fine...

I realize this be considered a horrific hack, but why not just
//pseudo code
#ifdef (GCC2.9.3 && !STLPORT)
//OLD lexical cast implementation using strstream
#else
//new lexical cast implementation
#endif
2.95.3 is a dead compiler with a bad standard library, but
it is still widely used. In 1.29 lexical_cast and date_time
are reasonably well supported on this compiler. I think as
a fundamental principle we should not go forward with a
release that breaks support for a previously supported
platform as part of a fix or enhancement.
If we really can't wait any longer for the release and
the above isn't acceptable than I would vote for
rolling back the lexical_cast fix to 1.29 level.
