I think the immediate problem is this report of number of open tickets
per component:

        https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/report/19

Some of those issues are surely bugs that happen only on VAX machines, or
misuses of library, or features only submitter wants, but when a library
has 70, or 50, or 40 it still sounds too much.
