 Using the environment setting {{{BOOST_TEST_REPORT_LEVEL=detailed}}} and
 {{{BOOST_TEST_LOG_LEVEL=all}}} frees an unallocated pointer on mac os x
 when running simple boost unit tests compiled with g++ 4.6.1; standard g++
 4.2.1 has not this problem:

 {{{
 $ g++ -DBOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib
 -lboost_unit_test_framework-mt boost_test.cxx
 $ ./a.out
 Running 1 test case...

 *** No errors detected
 $ BOOST_TEST_REPORT_LEVEL=detailed BOOST_TEST_LOG_LEVEL=all ./a.out
 Running 1 test case...
 Entering test suite "boost_test"
 Entering test case "mytest"

   1 assertion out of 1 passed
   1 test case out of 1 passed

   Test case "mytest" passed with:
     1 assertion out of 1 passed
 }}}

 Compiling with g++ 4.6.1 gives

 {{{

 freed was not allocated
 *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

 }}}

 A backtrace does not give too much information:

 {{{
