[ Wednesday 23 November 2005 13:51 ]
| Package: libboost-program-options-dev
| Version: 1.33.0-3
| Severity: important
|
| test-pd.cpp works with g++-3.3(with warning) but not with g++-4.0.
| I think it's boost's bug, not g++'s

Nope it is neither boost nor g++
you have upgraded g++ to 4.0.2-4 with the new allocator and you need to get 
the latest boost (-4) which just entered unstable.
Otherwise you will see this kind of message a lot.
see for example
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/11/msg00010.html

you are lucky that with g++-3.3 it works because it uses libstdc++5 and boost 
was compiled with libstdc++6 (and that's what the message says)
