bjam failure when two instances running?

I just had an odd failure - the full boost regression tests were running, 
and I tried to run some separate filesystem tests at the same time (in a 
different Win 32 command window).

Four of the boost regression test status/bin/xxx.test directories were 
mistakenly created in the boost-root/libs/filesystem directory! Both runs 
showed unexpected errors.

Afterwards, I reran the tests, being careful not to invoke both at the same 
time, and they then ran correctly.

Note that both bjam runs are done from batch files.

So on the surface, it looks like there may be some interaction between two 
bjam instances running in completely different processes.

Is that a known issue?
