Any idea?

I know basically nothing about Boost.Test, but I won't let that stop me from guessing that it has a signal handler for SIGCHLD, or conceivably a thread blocking in a call to wait(), that detects your subprocess terminating. Perhaps it's not expecting your test to start subprocesses? Phil.
