Comment (by Jim King <jim.king@…>):

 Was the solution to this issue to make it impossible to use assertion
 checks within a global fixture?  I find that to be pretty useful, and
 having moved from boost 1.53 to 1.59 I find I'm having to rewrite a lot of
 tests so they don't fail with an exception of:

 throw std::runtime_error( "can't use testing tools outside of test case
 implementation" );

 these tests never crashed before.  Further, the patch that was provided
 does not provide a test that proves either if the issue existed before or
 whether it is fixed now.
