I am trying to get the regressions straight for msvc-6.5. I discovered, that some of the test's test are failing with msvc-6.5.

I tracked this down to the fact, that the boost_unit_test_framework cannot be built as a DLL.

Boost.Test doesn't support DLLs for msvc 6.5. And have no plans for this to change.

joaquin provided a workaround for some of the problems, as can be seen from his answer within this thread of discussion. I have tried it, and were able to reproduce his found results, i.e. some of the regressions are seemingly fixed. Have you any objections to apply his patch? Roland
