Hi Nate,
Thanks for committing the fixes!

At least, `type_erased` and `strided` have been failing for some time.
IIRC, `strided` still has a bug, which can be found at
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/211955/focus=212004
This bug might be the origin of the `strided` test failure.

I think it's not possible and it's a drawback of the Boost's testing
infrastructure. I guess that one of the reasons (for not storing older
test results) is that the test logs are very large.
