Hello Beman,

I've been following your crashes with interest! What is for certain is 
that a memory corruption is going to really hard to find. The idea that 
it could be a compiler bug (or compatiblity problem) got me thinking 
about ways to narrow down the possibilites. I have a suggestion which 
comes a bit from left field! Would it be possible for you to keep 
everything the same but run with "bjam" compiled with gcc or another 
compiler.

Only a though,
Michael
