At some point the properties used to build the test changed from link=static runtime-link=static to threading=multi.
The old results are still present in the jam log and are getting picked up by the regression tools. The version that is currently being run is passing.
Good sleuthing, Steven! I presume someone knows how to blow away the old jam log?
It isn't the jam log, but rather the old results xml file. This is similar to several other problems we have with the current regression framework in that it can currently only be solved on the tester's machine. Test frameworks that store results on a central server would be an improvement in that such problems can be fixed (or more likely won't even occur in the first place) without access to the tester's machine. Hopefully, the CMake based testing under development will avoid this trap. --Beman
