[boost] Boost.Build problem?

I'm having an unusual problem running the Boost.Threads tests 
(libs/thread/test/Jamfile) using GCC.  Here's the result of bjam using -d2:

---------

F:\Home\boost\libs\thread\test>bjam -sTOOLS=gcc -d2
...found 652 targets...
...updating 46 targets...

       set

ntime-link-dynamic\threading-multi;%PATH%

       
..\..\..\libs\thread\test\bin\test_thread.exe\gcc\debug\runtime-link-dyn
amic\threading-multi\test_thread.exe

spawn: No such file or directory

---------

The surprising thing is that the executable was built correctly.  In fact, 
running the commands shown above manually I get expected results:

---------

F:\Home\boost\libs\thread\test>set 
PATH=..\..\..\libs\thread\build\bin\boost_thr
eadmon.dll\gcc\debug\runtime-link-dynamic\threading-multi;%PATH%

F:\Home\boost\libs\thread\test>..\..\..\libs\thread\test\bin\test_thread.exe\gcc
\debug\runtime-link-dynamic\threading-multi\test_thread.exe
Running 3 test cases...

*** No errors detected

---------

The two VC toolsets don't result in this problem on the same box.  Any ideas 
as to what I'm doing wrong?
