The RudbekAssociates-V2 runner is showing 2 sets of results for the
throw_exception_test test:

---
boost/bin.v2/libs/exception/test/throw_exception_test.test/msvc-8.0/debug/link-static/runtime-link-static
---
boost/bin.v2/libs/exception/test/throw_exception_test.test/msvc-8.0/debug/threading-multi
---
Where the 'link-static' version is failing and the other isn't.
The exception jamfile used to specify <link>static, but doesnt any more, so
is the 'failure' just because theres a set of old results lying around as
well as the current ones?
