I've tried your testcase and... could not reproduce the problem. When I run

bjam -a

from the root, and from the "test" directory, I get:

bash-2.05b$ bjam -a
...patience...
...found 153 targets...
...updating 2 targets...
gcc.compile.c++ test/bin/gcc/debug/integrator_test.o
gcc.link test/bin/gcc/debug/integrator_test
...updated 2 targets...

I'm almost at lost. If it crashed, you'll see the message box to that effect. 
If it did not crashed, it should have produces "...updated XXX targets....." 
message. Hmm... maybe you could update bjam from CVS and try again?
BTW, did you use "bjam -a" command line, or there was something else?
