When I run the regression tests, I get a lot of message boxes popping up. Most
of them are about the inability to find the a required DLL
(e.g. serialization), but some are crashes.

This looks like a compile failure; I haven't got an OBJ for that compile. The
only record in bjam.log

Running the tests directly from the command line (bjam --v2 release
borland-5.8.2 regex_regress), it compiles OK, but I get a link-time failure:
