[Boost-users] segfault using boost test

I'm consistently getting segfaults trying to use boost test on my Mac.  The test works fine on Linux.

This is Mac is running Snow Leopard.  I compiled boost using Homebrew (http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/; seehttps://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/boost.rb for the build formula), but I've also tried building Boost myself with the same results.

Any help figuring this out would be greatly appreciated!

Here's the test I'm running:

#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE simple
#include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp>

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(testSimple)
{
   BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(true, true);
}

Here's the backtrace:

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
