What version of Boost r u using?

I couldn't reproduce the issue with my local verstion. But than I am running 
significantly revorked one even in comparizon with cvs. My version produce 
following output:

Running 1 test case...
unknown location(0): fatal error in "factorial_test": stack overflow
unit_test_example_01.cpp(10): last checkpoint

*** 1 failure detected in test suite "Master Test Suite"

Does anyone could confirm the issue with either latest or RC version of 
Boost.Test?
