The code always gets updated completely from the CVS.

Since this is failing on so many platforms, this might be a good chance
to find out what is wrong with the build system or the test system here.

The situation here is:
The testwave binary created by the most recent run shows a creation date
of yesterday and the test_log.xml output is newer than the binary.
However, the testwave.o file used for creating the binary is older.
The directory listing for gcc 3.4.3 is (times are shown in UTC):

-rw-r--r--  1 m m      807 May  8 09:52 test_log.xml
-rwx--x--x  1 m m 64626929 May  8 09:21 testwave
-rw-r--r--  1 m m   890820 May  7 16:57 testwave.o
-rw-r--r--  1 m m      287 May  8 09:51 testwave.output
-rw-r--r--  1 m m  9112748 May  8 09:20 testwave_app.o

The listing for the wave library directory is:

-rw-r--r--  1 m m 61751022 Apr 22 23:51 libboost_wave-gcc-sd-1_32.a
-rw-r--r--  1 m m 64106376 May  8 07:59 libboost_wave-gcc-sd-1_33.a
-rw-r--r--  1 m m      444 May  8 09:52 test_log.xml

AHA! Does Wave still pick up the 1.32 version of the library?

test_log.xml for gcc.3.4.3 from yesterday reads:

<test-log library="wave" test-name="testwave" test-type="run"
test-program="libs/wave/test/testwave/testwave.cpp"
target-directory="bin/boost/libs/wave/test/build/testwave.test/gcc-3.4.3-linux/debug/runtime-link-static"

expected error:

testwave: 168 of 169 test(s) succeeded (1 test(s) failed).

EXIT STATUS: 1
</run>
</test-log>

This looks exactly like what gets displayed on the metacomm site.

However, when I run the test manually (using yesterday's binary) then I
get this output:

./testwave --config-file
/boost/head-regression/boost/libs/wave/test/testwave/testfiles/test.cfg
/boost/head-regression/boost/libs/wave/test/testwave/testfiles/t_9_014.cpp:
exception caught: unknown option long_long
testwave: 166 of 169 test(s) succeeded (3 test(s) failed).

The exception gets thrown when testfiles/t_9_014.cpp is being processed.
The status code returned is 3.

testwave is statically linked, so this can't be an issue with a wrong
shared library getting used.

I have no idea what is happening here. Even if the 1.32 version of
libboost_wave would get used, the results of the automated and the
manual runs should still be consistent.
