Any idea why some tests fail in this environment? They do all pass
on my
machine and appearantly also on Victor's.
It could well be a timing issue. Many of the Boost.Thread tests make the (usually valid) assumption that certain operations will finish in a specified "long" amount of time (e.g. one second). If the machine is running under heavy load, this assumption could be invalid, causing sporadic test failures. It's perhaps not the ideal way to run the tests, but that's the way I found them and I haven't been able to do anything about it yet. Mike
