Hi Lorenzo,

No, we'll leave the Sandia-Sun tester running as long as we can.  Go  
to the Legend at the bottom of the trunk results page, one of the keys  
is this:

n/a  The library author marked it as unusable on particular platform/ 
toolset.

I suggest you mark your library as n/a for the Sandia-Sun tester, as  
others have done for their libraries, e.g. proto, property_tree,  
statechart, xpressive, etc...
