[Boost-users] Unit Test question: BOOST_CHECK_MESSAGE and high logging levels

Folks,

I just noticed something: a unit test with something like this

  BOOST_CHECK_MESSAGE ( true, "this should never be seen" );

will, of course, be silent when run... unless you've got the logging
turned all the way up.  When run with 

         --log_level=all --report_level=detailed

this turns up in the output:

./../util/unitTest/test_auto.C(32): info: this should never be seen

Is this intentional?  It is suprising to me... if the message in the
check says something about "failing" or "errors", the output appears
to be signaling a unit test failure when really it isn't.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!!
