Hi Darren,

First off, I think it generally better to post bjam bugs to 
jammboost_at_[hidden] list, since they might not reproduce in Perforce 
Jam. Though in this case your post is applicable to both jams.

Anyway, about this bug report. I think bjam has it fixed, at least there was 
this commit

* make1.c: Fix "-q" option, thanks to Markus Scherschanski.

* jam_src/make1.c (make1d): Quickquit in all cases, not only
when
DEBUG_MAKE is set.

This change went into 3.1.1, so you might try to get that version, or better 
yet, the most current one at 

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586

I think Perforce Jam still has this bug.
