Ok - here's the last part of the output.  The original build command was

bjam -sTOOLS=vc7 -d+2 -d+4 install 

I was at a command line with the current directory = C:\boost_1_33_1.
Windows Explorer says I have 17.7 GB free space on the hard drive.

failed to write command file!

*** end output ***

Again, thank you for any assistance you can provide.
