I believe process_jam_log would eventually have finished, I you would have 
been patient enough. (Maybe next year or so... :-) )

I checked in a performance patch for process_jam_log yesterday, do you know 
if your version already has that patch included? AFAICT, the patch is not 
enough to let process_jam_log complete in a reasonable amount of time on 
that platform for a full regression run, but I got a fives times speed-up 
when processing smaller parts of the regression log file.

The workaround I'm currently using is to use a binary built by g++-3.4.1, 
this at least enables me to run the regression tests for that platform.

Apart from that, the regression runs for test_read_write_mutex don't hang 
on my platform currently, they abort with an error. (see
