In spite of increasing the stack size with 'ulimit -S value' and 'ulimit 
-s value' up to 524288 kB, I only managed to increase the time it takes 
for bjam to segfault.

The gdb backtrace is similar up to where I can get it... at some point 
after ~600,000 stack frames gdb gets killed attempting to go through 
the backtrace.

For some reason bjam appears to enter an infinite cycle... btw, this is 
using bbv2 (--v2 command line option).

Best,

João
