Unfortunately, in another project I'm working on that uses Boost 1.36,
I still see the problem manifesting itself.

This should be simple to test:

#define BOOST_AUTO_TEST_MAIN
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( assert_test ) {
  assert(false && !"Induced failure.");
  BOOST_CHECK(true);
}

The expected behavior is that once the test case asserts, an error
should be detected due to abnormal program termination (on a call to
std::abort).

I should say that this occurs in Linux with GCC 4.3.2.
