Boost.Test supports this directly just pass allocation number as the value of
the argument detect_memory_leaks:

test_modul.exe --detect_memory_leaks=83

Unfortunately in my experience with previous version of MS runtime this doesn't
actually break exactly at the same allocation we if you did not pass the
parameter. It's somewhere in a vicinity though: plus/minus couple.
