The process_jam_log doesn't distinguish between the tests with the
same name but different libs (for example, "list" test is in the mpl
and python libs) and assigns all "list" test results to mpl).  Calling
"conf. problem" is probably wrong, but in any case if root of the
problem is fixed then it is going to go away. The same is with 
"missing" test results in Boost.Python.
