[Boost-users] [boost-users][Test]BOOST_*_EXCEPTION/THRWO do not behave as expected?

For example:

BOOST_CHECK_THROW( (throw "string exception"), std::exception  );

I was expecting to get an error message in the form
     "error in xxx: exception<std::exception> expected".
Instead a message like the following was logged:
    unknown location(0): fatal error in "xxxx": unknown type

I'm not sure if this behavior is by design. If it is, it would be nice tools 
that catch all exceptions are provided.

Thanks,

Sean
