Christian,

to avoid name collisions use anonymous namespaces if you don't really
require the names outside the compilation unit:

namespace
{
   BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(read_image_test){}
}

This will ensure internal linkage for the names.

My other other suggestion would be trying to disable as many TC's as
possible in the problematic CPP to see what's going wrong there. If you
debug in MSVC, you can switch on VS to break into the code as soon as some
violation happens. This way you will be able to break into global
initialization as well.
