Why do you use the "included" version of Boost.Test anyway?

Yes, this is a classical ODR violation. You get one Boost.Test library built 
by "included" and a second instance linked in. And all bets are off.

Either use the "included" variant or link against the lib. 

The correct #include for linking against the library is

 #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

Yours,

Jürgen
