Symptoms on Linux: several tests, including bzip2, gzip and newline, get stuck in a busy loop. No system calls are executed in that loop.

Waiting won't work, since I'll have to kill the hanging tests manually (for a couple of toolsets). I'll restart the whole test cycle here. Results will get published within 12-24 hours if everything goes well.

I'm now testing the hypothesis that the problem is std::rand behaving badly on these platforms. I've switched to Boost.Random, and have left just one of the problem tests, newline_test.cpp, uncommented. Jonathan
