A year ago I reported to the list and Gennadiy that there was some kind of infinite recursion in the exception handler in Boost.Test that impacted the Sandia Darwin Intel tester.  See my email of last May.  I don't think we ever found the actual problem and I suspect it's this same issue impacting many of the other Boost libraries tested with the Sandia Darwin Intel tester.
