I can confirm that changing the line specified in the first ticket from

# if BOOST_WORKAROUND(_MSC_FULL_VER, BOOST_TESTED_AT(13102292)) && BOOST_MSVC > 
1300

to

# if BOOST_WORKAROUND(_MSC_FULL_VER, BOOST_TESTED_AT(13102292)) && BOOST_MSVC 
== 1400

allows the test to complete successfully when running "bjam -a msvc-9.0" from 
the libs\random\test directory., and that running the same test with msvc-8.0 
still works as well.
