Three tests are failing (and popping up an exception dialog, causing 
much consternation!):

   simple_example_5
   testtz_database
   testlocal_time_facet

Ha! These tests don't even use Boost.Test or Boost.Threads at all! The 
first is from the Tokenizer library, the two others from Date-Time.

simple_example_5 is just an assertion failure. Looks like the change 
John just committed broke something:-(
