Hi Grennadiy, thanks for your help so far.
I might just switch to the no libraries solution and wait for 1.34 binaries to be built, since I don't have time on my schedule to dig deeper into the boost build. 

Correct me if I'm wrong - if I chose to use the synchronous exceptions version of the libraries now on Boost Consulting website, the core libraries ought to work fine, it is just that I ought to expect runtime exceptions to terminate the execution of any code I write using it.  Ie please confirm that there's no reason to think that boost-test, etc might not function with this exception model.

Just on the no-libraries solution.  I can't find anything documented about any special compiler settings to get it to work with vc80.
When I set /EHsc, the popped up exception occurs.  When I set /EHa, the program _appears_ to finish fine, but on closer inspection of the console output, I discover the access violation message is there in the console.  But I guess this is not what I should get with my no-libraries test.  What am I doing wrong here?
