Summary: Doubtful test libs/multi_array/test/fail_cdata.cpp

Initial Comment:
This test checks data() member function "constness". It 
tries to assign int * variable with value returned by data(), 
that must have the type const int*. Gcc permits that and 
produce an error. But Intel compiler allows that 
producing an error only in -ansi mode. I suspect there 
are another compilers that permit such assignment.

To get wider test acceptance I would 
enforce "constness" testing by writing to this array. 
Assignment to const restricted both with gcc 3.2 and 
Intel compilers. I'll attach the patch that modify the test 
to be more correct.
