I think the problem just manifested itself when I compiled one of my
unit tests but was not necessarily boost unit test specific.  I ended
up not having the time to deal with it and uninstalled it again.  I
installed SP1 for VC8 since I read somewhere that it addressed a
memory leak issues with regards to their streams implementation and
custom facets.  After the uninstall of SP1 everything worked again as
expected and compiled just fine :)
