  *boggle*

  All righty then.  In that case, I'm going to disable the test cases
on kfreebsd.  It looks pretty clear to me from the transcript that the
test case actually succeeded before crashing, which makes me suspect
that it's the Boost test framework itself that's crashing, not aptitude
code.  This would not be the first time (Google for "boost unit test
double free"); I'm beginning to think that this piece of Boost is not up
to their usual quality, and I should consider dropping it and going
back to cppunit, or just rolling my own :-/.

  No problem.
