I thought his telling me I didn't know how to run a test before I reported 
an error was outrageous also!
I spent several hours trying to figure out what the heck was wrong with 
what _I_ did before I posted in boost developer, and at your suggestion 
joined here. I find that you had reported this some time ago and when Vlad 
replied to you, I ran a quick test in two handy directories and reported 
supporting evidence that perhaps bjam was really really really broken.

I get a reply telling me basically I don't know how to do a test.

I know there are a lot of volunteers helping with boost, and I consider 
myself one of them.

I apologize for the sarcastic "Happy?" comment, but statements 1 and 4 are 
exactly correct and I stand behind them.
