thanks for running the tests!

On Linux line 624 in boost_1_36_0/boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp  
should be temporarily changed like I did on Solaris (not sure if you did  
this?). SIGCHLD is otherwise handled by Boost.Test which will then report  
an error. I guess this is a problem on all *nix platforms (except Cygwin;  
it could be that Boost.Test doesn't handle signals on Cygwin?).

As the test cases try to start a program "helpers" shared libraries  
"helpers" depends on must be found. You might need to set and export  
LD_LIBRARY_PATH before you run the test cases. If I'm not mistaken I had  
to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/libstdc++.so somewhere, too. The current  
environment variables will be used by all test cases (thus LD_LIBRARY_PATH  
will be defined when "helpers" is started). You can check if this is a  
problem on your computer by starting "helpers" yourself (the executable  
should be somewhere in  
boost_1_36_0/bin.v2/libs/process/test/gcc-4.1.2/...).
