Thank you John, it works indeed. I was linking my application with
libboost_unit_test_framework-vc71-mt.lib whereas I should have linked it
with libboost_unit_test_framework-vc71-mt-s.lib (the static version I
assume).

I don't believe any workarounds are required as such: the toolkit ships with

the same compiler as VC7.1, the only difference is that the dynamic runtime 
libraries are not supplied.  So as long as you build your application with a

static runtime you should be OK - unless I'm missing something here.

John.
