[Boost-testing] One reason for wrong results in the regression pages

I just stumbled accross one explanation for false results in the regression 
run pages.

Currently, wave is marked as success on Tru64/CXX, but wave fails to build 
because of some issues with program_options.

Here is an excerpt from the build log:

But the XML file lists the test as succeeded.

As can be seen, the link lists the results of the compilation of 
test_wave.cpp, which is cleary bogus.

I can provide both the bjam log file and the XML file, if anyone is interested.
