This suprised me, as in Alexey's tests the problems appeared only on wide

Does libs/serialization/build/Jamfile.v2 contain settings of 
BOOST_SERIALIZATION_DYN_LINK?

I think there's such monitor that can be used by regression.py script. I can't 
say at the moment how it works or even how to get it, unfortunately.

On Linux, there are no automatic popup messages, generally.
