When I process file with the above message in it, process_jam_log produces
the following warning:

*****Warning - can't open output file: 
c:/boost134/../../bin.v2/libs/serializat
on/test/test_demo_fast_archive_dll.test/msvc-7.1/debug/threading-multi/test_log
xml

which refers to and pathname that cannot be valid. (note the 
c:/boost14/../../bin.v2 ...)

Tracing the code with the debugger to line 242 (approx) of 
process_jam_log.cpp
reveals code that would work as I would expect were it not for the "p" in
the pathname <p../../../bin.v2 ...

So that's what leads me to the conclusion the one of the a), b), or c) below
must hold true.  Which is it?
