Ah, for the *examples*. I never actually thought of that part.

I had been developing on VS 2010 for a while last yer, but I've since
Oct. 2010 have not had access to VS 2010 again.

Do you know exactly where in which test this is failing? I can't shake
the feeling that this might have something to do with Boost.Test or
another Boost library's differences in Windows and Linux.

Looking forward to hearing from you again soon and hopefully cracking
this VS2010 nut without me having access to that compiler in the
meantime.
