Thanks for spotting it, Markus. I'll check if there are other failures on HP-UX/aCC marked as 'has been failing in the last release' which were not present in 1.34.1. As for dyn_bitset_unit_tests3 failure, I think I understand what's going on. It looks like a regression in boost/dynamic_bitset/dynamic_bitset.hpp introduced in 1.35, but even in 1.34.1, it seems to me that the code in to_ulong() is relying on undefined behaviour. I'll post separate message later today or tomorrow. On a different topic: there was a power outage in the lab Friday night and the machines I'm using for Boost testing will be unavailable until Monday.

There is an acc test failure in the dynamic bitset library (affecting all 64 bit platforms, AFAICT), which only doesn't show up because it's marked as 'has been failing in the last release'.
To make matters worse, this failure wasn't even present in the last release, so the markup is plain wrong. (It's probably from the version before, or something like that.)
I think this highlights a problem in the way we're doing the markup for the known failures. If one test fails and is marked up accordingly for the release, there is no procedure that once this failure is fixed, the markup is removed.
Nearly every platform currently tested has one ore more libraries showing dark green boxes, meaning that there is a test which unexpectedly passes. Before the release we should clear the markup for all these tests, otherwise the regression reports don't accurately tell whether there are regressions or not.
If others agree that this is useful, I will take care of the markup for Tru64/CXX.
