Hi Vladimir,

(Hope you had a nice vacation. As you have probably seen, bjam is 
gaining a lot of bandwith and many new users of v2 (I for instance) have 
used this ml to try to help out each other but we ofter lacked your 
bright insight: glad you are back ;-)

Finally I have recreated all jamfiles for the project above and got rid 
of the problem. I have never found out why I had the segmentation fault 
and what was wrong with my jamfiles. The only thing I can say is that 
bjam never complained the syntax was incorrect and seg-faulted. However 
I was never able to reproduce this problem on another project.
