Subject: [Boost-build] How do I find the Unescaped character?
From: Kuhl, Brian (brian.kuhl_at_[hidden])

I'm getting some error messages from b2 when building Boost 1.67.
If I pipe the output of the build to a file the errors are much less likely to occur.
Any idea what might be casing this?

Many Thanks,
