Automatic Win32 regression test crashes

I'm trying to refine the Win32 regression test so it can run automatically 
on a (more or less) daily basis.

One of the problems with doing this is that some test programs crash, 
popping up a error dialog which I have to manually clear. "Click OK to 
terminate the Program" or similar.

The tests failing in this manner are:

   libs/config/test/limits_test.cpp with Borland
   libs/config/test/limits_test.cpp with Comeau
   libs/bind/bind_test.cpp with Comeau
   libs/utility/iterator_adaptor_test.cpp with Microsoft VC++ / STLport
   libs/utility/operators_test.cpp with Comeau

If anyone can (1) workaround the compiler problem, or (2) figure out how to 
trap the error without popping up a dialog box, or (3) just issue an #error 
or similar for the compiler version so the runtime is never tested, I'd 
appreciate it.  Otherwise we won't be able to include these tests in an 
automated daily regression test.

Thanks,
