My guess is that there was a problem with the configuration. Since the 
command lines reported by both sets of tests are the same, it may have been 
fixed but hasn't been reflected in the results because it wasn't a fix in a 
dependent file, so bjam never recompiled those tests. Or something like 
that.

The solution would be to clear out the regression target directories (or 
maybe just rerun with the -a switch.) Experiment with, say, just array1 to 
verify that takes care of the problem.

A 9% failure rate is much more what would be expected for GCC based 
compilers.
