Unfortunately information you gave is not enough for any meaningful
analysis. Crash during deallocation indicate essentially some kind of memory
corruption, which may be caused by anything that was invoked before. If you
suspect that it is Boost.Test responsibility I would recommend to start
eliminating external dependencies and step by step bring it to the minimal
example that reveal an issue.

Let me know if you get any further.
