Hi,

I am having trouble following the instructions for running the regression
tests on the trunk as described here:
http://www.boost.org/development/running_regression_tests.html

Compiler: MSVC9 Express
OS: Vista Ultimate x86
Python: python 2.5

I am attempting to use the command line: python.exe run.py --toolset=msvc

After many hours of execution I get this error:

# Executing SVN command "svn --non-interactive info --xml
"C:\Users\neil\source\
boost-trunk\boost" >"C:\Users\neil\source\boost-trunk\boost\svn_info.txt""
# Collecting test logs into
"C:\Users\neil\source\boost-trunk\results\None.xml".
..
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "c:\python25\lib\xml\sax\saxutils.py", line 39, in escape    data =
data.replace("&", "&amp;")
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'replace'

Has anyone seen this issue before, or know how to fix it?

Thanks in anticipation,
