Hi all,

I am having an issue where boost.test is triggering an assert when I 
make a BOOST_REQUIRE_EQUAL check. It always gives me the same assert.

I am on Windows 7 with Visual C++ 2013, compiling a 32 bit application. 
This error happens both with boost_1_57_0 and boost_1_58_0.

The assert says:

Debug Assertion Failed!

Program: C:\Windows\system32\MSVCP120D.dll
File: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\INCLUDE\xstring
Line: 168

Expression: string iterator + offset out of range

Here's the stack:

Does anyone have any tips for things I might try?

Thanks in advance for any help on this!

Kind regards,
