to be more specific: of the test machines at sandia sometimes has test
failures for boost.lockfree, which i cannot reproduce on my machine. the algorithm in question (the spsc_queue) only makes use of atomic reads and writes and only requires two memory barriers. the sandia machine is a 4 cpu, 8 core/cpu machine, while my machines are all single-cpu multi-core. Which tests fail, by the way?
the stress test for the spsp_queue (spsc_queue_test_caching) ... one thread enqueueing a large number of elements, one thread dequeueing ...
