I recall I seen this failure before, but I though it's gone. It's related to 
some differences in print module behaviour on Linux and Windows -- either 
Windows adds some space somewhere or something like that.

The testsuite will check for file test-config.jam in the 'test' directory. If 
present, it will be loaded, and user-config.jam will be ignored. It looks 
like you have such file, but it does not define anything. Can you check if 
that's the case?

Sounds like a good idea.
