If that's correct it's very bad indeed - all the type_traits regression
tests rely on --report-level=detailed working correctly.  However I'm not
seeing the online regression test results exhibiting this problem (could be
that they just haven't needed rebuilding yet) - what compiler/platform are
you using?

Thanks,
