Tom, I wonder if I can get you to investigate: 
http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/output/teeks99-02b-win2008-64on64-boost-bin-v2-libs-math-test-test_factorials-test-msvc-9-0-debug-asynch-exceptions-on-link-static.html

It's one of a large number of Boost.Math tests that's failing on the 
teeks machines, but not the others, nor can any of us reproduce locally.

Many thanks, John.
