[boost] boost::noncopyable broken?

Hello

when testing some regression errors I updated my second local copy from 
anonymous CVS @ sf.net (first copy is always from meta-comm and is 
producing regression tests you can see on www.meta-comm.com). Then I 
started running some tests, and received many errors similar to following:

(vc71)
boost\noncopyable.hpp(32) : error C2371: 'boost::noncopyable' :
   redefinition; different basic types
boost\utility_fwd.hpp(26) : see declaration of 'boost::noncopyable'
boost\test\unit_test_log.hpp(138) : error C2504: 'boost::noncopyable' :
   base class undefined

(como-win32-4.3.3-vc7.1)
boost/noncopyable.hpp", line 32: error #256:
   invalid redeclaration of type name "boost::noncopyable" (declared at
   line 26 of "boost/utility_fwd.hpp")
   typedef noncopyable_::noncopyable noncopyable;
                                     ^

I then took archived boost.tar.bz2 from meta-comm (boost-04-08-18-1200) 
and found the same error in this archive. Fortunatelly I also have older 
copy of this archive (boost-04-08-18-0600) and this archive is currently 
used to produce regression tests you will see soon - without error 
mentioned above.

Apparently boost::noncopyable (or test unit?) got broken somewhere 
between Aug 18th 06:00 and Aug 18th 12:00 (I do not know what timezone) 
and this will produce many errors in next regression tests run. Unless 
it's quickly fixed.
