This is not a compiler or library bug; it is specific to
http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/RudbekAssociates-V2.html.

Incremental MSVC builds at other sites work fine. I'm pretty sure that
this particular problem has persisted for months now. I've tried to
contact them before without success.

Maybe I've set up the Boost Exception testing suite incorrectly? I
doubt it, the relevant command is pretty straight-forward:

run throw_exception_test.cpp helper2.cpp ;
