Maybe the error in BCB can be fixed, along with ICC and Comeau,
by replacing line 225 of unit_test_suite.cpp

    p_stages_amount.value = p_stages_amount.value+1;

with

    p_stages_amount.set(p_stages_amount.get()+1);

which seems to work in ICC and does not force you to unprotect
p_stages_amount as you did for BCB. The fix at least works for
ICC 7.1 for Windows (I tried). I guess that the problem in ICC and
Comeau (which are EDG-based, if I'm not wrong) might have
something to do with active issue #385, though I don't know for
sure.
