Comment (by Bryan Ashby <nuskooler@…>):

 Update:
 I have tested v1.51.0 RC from http://boost.cowic.de/rc/ and it appears
 that both jam0.exe and b2.exe crash therefor causing Boost to fail to
 build on Windows 8 x64. Both seem to be related to pointer truncation.

 See the attached boost_1_51_0_win8_x64_compat.patch file
