bjam crashing... debugging bjam

Hi All,

I have just done a CVS update and have attempted to build my project
(gui/libs/devel). After a few moments, bjam crashes with:

The exception unknown software exception (0xc00000fd) occurred in
the application at location 0x00402f23.

Pressing Cancel (to debug) does not open up the VC 7.1 IDE (allowing me
to debug bjam).

I also did a cygwin/gcc build and am getting an empty bjam.exe.stackdump
file.

The problem does not appear when using the gcc toolset and appears to be
independant of the project (I have tried two different projects with the
same results). It is reproducible on: msvc, cw and borland, with:

--[ user-config.jam ]--

import toolset : using ;

using gcc : 3.3 ;
using msvc : 8.0 : f:/devel/microsoft/vc8/bin/cl.exe ;
using borland : 5.5 : f:/devel/borland/bcb5/bin/bcc32.exe ;
using cw : 9.2 : "C:/Program Files/Metrowerks/CodeWarrior9/Other
Metrowerks Tools/Command Line Tools/mwcc.exe" ;

--[ end ]--

Can anyone else reproduce this?

Regards,
Reece
