I'm getting the following output from one of the date_time tests with Boost 1.33.0 on AmigaOS: execute-test ../../../bin/boost/libs/date_time/test/testdate_facet_new.test/gcc/debug/testdate_facet_new.run ====== BEGIN OUTPUT ====== Pass :: to_string & default formats match Pass :: to_string & default formats match FAIL :: default classic date FAIL :: default classic date period Pass :: custom date facet date period ... I've traced it down to the %x date format specifier using the default locale while the tests themselves expect something else. According to the ANSI K&R C book this is correct behaviour because C++ classic locale uses the same format specifiers as the ANSI C strftime() function. So am I correct in assuming these two test cases are broken? --Steven
