[Boost-users] [Test]: Problem with simple Boost.Test

I'm trying to get what I think should be a simple example of
Boost.Test (Boost 1.53) to work but I'm getting a segmentation fault,
having used other of the Boost libraries from the same build/install
of 1.53 without any problems.  Am I doing anything obviously wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help.

$ cat test/cma.cpp
#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE cma
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

#include <iostream>
#include <ostream>

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(sanity)
{
    std::clog << "Test the world!\n";
}
$ make check
[100%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/test-cma.dir/test/cma.cpp.o
Linking CXX executable test-cma

[100%] Built target check
$ env DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=${TARGET}/lib ./test-cma

Segmentation fault: 11
$

Here are some more details.  I'm trying this on Mac with GCC.

$ uname -a

I've compiled my build/install of Boost 1.53 with --std=c++0x.  Again,
I've used other libraries from this same build/install (DateTime,
Filesystem, Random, Regex, Serialization, System, Thread), so I don't
think that the problem is my use of --std=c++0x in and of itself.

$ ${CXX} -c --std=c++0x -g -I${TARGET}/include cma.cpp -o cma.o
$ ${CXX} --std=c++0x -g cma.o ${TARGET}/lib/libboost_test_exec_monitor.a \
${TARGET}/lib/libboost_unit_test_framework.dylib -o cma
$ env DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=${TARGET}/lib ./cma
Running 1 test case...
Test the world!
Segmentation fault: 11
$

If I run this under GDB

(gdb) run

Test the world!
