These particular ones are due to the fact that I've never been able to force the order of tests with bjam. Those tests attempt to load archives which haven't been created yet. If one doesn'st clean out the $TMPDIR, these errors don't occur the next time. Using the markup to indicate - fails sometimes resulted in a misleading marking of the passing tests (If I remember correctly) so I just had to leave it. That is, the "fail" are really artifacts of the bjam implementation.
Perhaps after the release you should consider combining the load & save tests for each archive/type combination into a single test. Just dump the file and then read it back immediately.
Do those test really need to read from/write to a file then? Using a stringstream would save me the hassle of deleting hundreds of temporary files regularly. Regards, m Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
