The tests are indeed too permissive... but the real reason is that 
config_test is always run with <threading>multi, so the default 
configuration is never tested. Is this correct? Most of our other tests do 
not use <threading>multi, so it seems reasonable to run config_test in this 
mode as well (in addition to the existing <threading>multi run).
