are you sure? this would imply that the boost.heap testsuite was always
broken on release, though i'm pretty sure that wasn't the case.

the only workaround i can think of, is to get rid of boost.test, though
i don't have too much time to spend on this atm ...

i see ... fwiw, testing is a rather important part, especially for the
release branch ... so it would be great if you could merge it, soon ...
