I'm not sure if this is correct because the problem is not with boost but
with STLPort numeric_limits<> as shipped with BCB6.
(I reported this before).
The problem I see is that the test will now pass but becasue of a particular
condition (the static RTL).
As a boost user, I wouldn't expect a 'Passed' to require something which is
not explicit in the regression results and which is not very common.
It wouldn't be so much of a problem, IMHO, if the status tables contained an
additional column showing particular uncommon constrians.
