hi all, i'm not sure what is the reason for this, but the boost.heap
testsuite has some severe problems, which seem to be related with
boost.test:

in the release branch, all (!!!) tests fail on all unixy platforms. this
was not the case when i developed the library. and i've reported this
issue more than once. well, using a testing framework, which crashes
before the test cases are even executed is a bit, well, worrying.

iac, i was happy that the tests in the release branch used to work at
least ... however i am seeing a lot of messages like:

Assertion failed: (!!s_active_handler), function jump_buffer, file
../boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp, line 683.
Assertion failed: (!!s_active_handler), function sys_sig, file
../boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp, line 690.

what does this tell me?

thnx,
tim
