Yes. For some reason I couldn't figure it out before. The implementation of
random shuffle makes an unqualified call to rand, but rand is actually in
namespace std. The iostream tests compile correctly if I add the following to
unit_test_suite.ipp, after the final include directive:

#if BOOST_WORKAROUND(__BORLANDC__, < 0x600) && \
    BOOST_WORKAROUND(_STLPORT_VERSION, <= 0x450) \
    /**/
    using std::rand;
#endif

Should I commit?
