This is an autolinking in use. Get the latest docs from cvs and read 
compilation instruction for UTF. There is section there covering it now.

I couldn't explain what you are expiriencing. Just one suggestion: make sure 
you link with proper library. Autolinking inforce proper name. Try to 
disable it (define BOOST_TEST_NO_LIB) and name library explicetly.

Boost.Test detects that you are running under debugger and don't try to 
catch level system errors, so that you could see message from debugger and 
analize stack.

I will try it myself tommorow.

Don't rely on docs yet. I am working on an update.
