This is because Beman updated timer in the 1.48 boost release. There was 
no mention in the release notes as far as I recall. I have a patch for 
updating Boost.Test to use the new timers, since the old one is 
deprecated. I'll create a ticket on trac and attach the patch later 
today or tomorrow for your perusal.
