If paths with longer names are affected, you might be running into
a limitations of your OS. Can you try this:

        bjam --hash <other options you use now>

You need to use bjam that is included in 1.45, as opposed to whatever
other version you might have.

What is "ms-workbench"?

I suppose your application is not built with stlport
debugging. Try setting _STLP_DEBUG macro to 1, and rebuild
your project.
