ok, did that... and now I've gotten a breakpoint at an assertion failure
in isctype.c
which is caused by the erroneous assumption in filent.c that some 
"string_table"
is terminated by a '\0'.
it is NOT in this case....
the file (archive) in question is:
bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\libboost_date_time.lib\mingw\debug\runtime-link-static\libboost_date_time-mgw-sd-1_32.lib

since I know next to nothing about this file format, the debugging has 
gotten quite slow and it's now 0200 so I'm gonna call it quits for the night.

the file was created a couple days ago in a regression run (it appears from 
the dates on the files).

so it's likely NOT bjam, but rather a bad library build. I'll keep you 
informed
