We know :(

There's a patch just gone into develop, actually if we're really going 
to do another RC, then that might be a good candidate to include in it 
if the release managers agree (purely on the grounds that it will reduce 
the amount of traffic all reporting the same thing!).  The actual patch 
is trivial BTW: 
https://github.com/boostorg/config/commit/a0147b73e8bde8f4b2c19c96166353dba8fa9914.
