Anthony,
Some Wave tests do fail because of spurious thread exceptions as well (here: http://tinyurl.com/2cfbzb).
I'd like to know which resource limits have been exceeded
I have no access to the platforms in question, all I can tell is that a 'boost::thread_resource_error' has been thrown.
On some platforms the Wave test seems to crash during application cleanup without any visible messages (here: http://tinyurl.com/26varp, http://tinyurl.com/24vmbv), judging from the experiences before this might be because of the recent changes in the thread library as well, but I'm certainly not sure...
Those wave tests pass fine on my linux box, but it's possible that it's due to TSS cleanup. Roland has expressed concern about the way that thread_specific_ptr is used in spirit (and hence in Wave).
This was a misunderstanding from Rolands side which has been discussed and cleared off list. Regards Hartmut
