Tom, I wonder if I can get you to investigate:
http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/output/teeks99-02b-win2008-64on64-boost-bin-v2-libs-math-test-test_factorials-test-msvc-9-0-debug-asynch-exceptions-on-link-static.html
It's one of a large number of Boost.Math tests that's failing on the
teeks machines, but not the others, nor can any of us reproduce locally.
Many thanks, John.
