[boost] Hey, I have a replacement test file here! (was: Added new testfile, need help testing)

I uploaded a new test file for the I/O state saving classes over a 
month ago.  How do we get the regression test guys to use the new file 
instead?  (I didn't want to delete summarily the old test file in case 
no one noticed the new file.)

Also, it seems that everyone ignored the original announcement of the 
new file.  There are some (minor?) issues with it.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, or if you want to help with 
the issues, I'm reprinting the original notice:
