Invalid free/delete error in Boost.Test with minimal test case on Boost 1.85

[bullvolkan]

I encountered an invalid free/delete error when running a minimal test case using Boost.Test with Boost 1.85. Below is the code and the error message from Valgrind.

Minimal Test Case:

#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE MinimalTest
#include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp>

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(minimal_test)
{
    BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(1, 1);
}

Error Message from Valgrind:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a minimal test case as shown above.
2. Compile and link the test case using Boost.Test.
3. Run the test with Valgrind to observe the error.

Additional Information:

1. Boost version: 1.85
2. Compiler: g++ (GCC) 14.1.1 20240620 (Red Hat 14.1.1-6)
3. Operating System: Linux fedora 6.9.5-200.fc40.x86_64
