 (Boost.Test: "Test setup error: child has exited" error with RC2, Message-
 ID: <20080325124954.GB10116_at_[hidden]>):

 I got a new error once I try to start my test:

 Test setup error: child has exited; pid: 1001; uid: 20576; exit value: 0

 The problem seems to be related to a std::system() call, which I do not
 understand! Without it it works!

 Here is my test code:

 #include <cstdlib>
 #include <boost/test/included/unit_test_framework.hpp>

 using boost::unit_test::test_suite;

 void Vektor3Test1() { }

 test_suite* Vektor3_test_suite()
 {
   test_suite *test = BOOST_TEST_SUITE("Vektor3 test suite");
   test->add(BOOST_TEST_CASE(&Vektor3Test1));

   return test;
 }

 test_suite* init_unit_test_suite(int, char *[])
 {
   std::system("true");
   // leads to "Test setup error: child has exited; pid: 1001; uid: 30540;
 exit value: 0"

   test_suite *test = BOOST_TEST_SUITE("Master test suite");
   test->add(Vektor3_test_suite());
   return test;
 }
