The same test is failing for me on WindowsXP, so it isnt UAC related.

Some kind of timeout problem perhaps?
I get a similar problem with one of the regex tests - http://tinyurl.com/2qteza
- and thats marked as an expected fail on VC8 with the comment:

"These tests pass when run directly from the command line, but fail when run
under the regression test script. The issue has never been fully pinned down,
but appears to be related to how long the tests take to run."

I see that one of the RudbekAssociates-V2 tests is failing with a timeout
message, and a bunch of the others are marked as fails but say "*** No errors
detected" as well.
