There are two issues here:

1) Intel 8.1 currently crashes on all tests that use the unit test suite, 
Intel tell me this will be fixed soon.
2) Intel 8.0 and 8.1: Martin Wille's tests are run on a Linux version that 
unsupported by Intel, as a result all tests that use <threading>multi fail 
during program startup, see for example http://tinyurl.com/4kvja.  I don't 
see a solution to this unless we can either get someone else to run Intel on 
Linux, or else persuade Martin to use a different Linux vendor :-(
