Boost Testing :

I'm very pleased with the TRU64 test results. I presume that no special
command switches were required to it looks like we're done.

Except for the variant test. The variant test seems pretty simple to me.
Your comment suggests that there is some sort of code violation either in
boost/serialization/variant.hpp or in the test. I don't see it. Do you
have any idea where it is?
