Not sure if this goes here.

On Windows 7, when I try to do bootstrap on a freshly unzipped boost
1.49 at the root directory, I get the following output:

Building Boost.Build engine

But that is as far as it gets before os terminates whatever it is
doing with this (roughly translated from russian):

**** Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  STACK SIZE EXCEEDED Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â ****
**** Â  Â  Â WHILE PERFORMING RECURSION IN BATCH MODE Â  Â  Â ****
Recursion depth=654, Stack usage=90 percent.
**** Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â BATCH PROCESSING ABORTED Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â ****

Is there a way to build boost bypassing this?
