I was a little bit different and it's very amusing:

This fails on VC 7.1 and passes on Intel 8:

        char *p = "Hi!";
        BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(p, "Hi!");

This fails on Intel 8 and passes on VC 7.1:

        char buf[] = "Hi!";
        BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(buf, "Hi!");

Could you just add these lines to the test cases for 1.33 after the 
release is branched? I would be very interested how other compilers 
behave here (as I said once, Intel's=EDG's behaviour is strange but 
correct).
