Comment(by anonymous):

 I'm finding that the patch prevents the error message but doesn't cause
 the code after the system() call (within the BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE) to be
 executed.

 For example:

 {{{
 BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(MyTestCase) {
         cerr << "Before command" << endl;
         system("echo Command");
         cerr << "After command" << endl;
         BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(1, 1);
 }
 }}}

 ...gives output which includes the following...

 {{{
 Entering test case "MyTestCase"
 Before command
 Command
 Test case MyTestCase doesn't include any assertions
 ***************************************************
 Leaving test case "MyTestCase"

 }}}

 This is the case after I have applied the patch and set the environment
 variable BOOST_TEST_CATCH_SYSTEM_ERROR to "no".

 Thanks very much for your help.
