------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 The data of an instance of boost::value_initialized<T> may not be
 initialized properly, when using GCC. Therefore some tests recently added
 to
 [http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/trunk/libs/utility/value_init_test.cpp

 trunk/libs/utility/value_init_test.cpp] are expected to fail on GCC test
 platforms. This is caused by some GCC compiler issues:

 GCC Bugzilla Bug 30111
 [http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30111 Value-initialization of
 POD base class doesn't initialize members], reported by Jonathan Wakely

 GCC Bugzilla Bug 33916
 [http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33916 Default constructor
 fails to initialize array members], reported by Michael Elizabeth Chastain

 Fernando Cacciola and I have already discussed this issue. I hope to have
 a workaround within a few weeks...  Hopefully this workaround will be the
 same for GCC, Borland and MSVC.  See also Ticket #1459 and #1217.
