   Never used valgrind so I'll most likely ask you for some more fedback 
on this once I'm done with this bug.

   Btw. I'm still working on the original issue and currently the 
effects I can reproduce seem to be triggered by some temporary files 
created and possibly removed (still not clear on that) while Boost Build 
is doing its directory parsing. I do not get any unexplained behaviour 
if I run everything with the '-j 1' option and have no other process 
create/remove temporary files while Boost Build does its work.

   It seems likely that this could be some preexisting error handling 
issue with Boost Build and that my change just made it visible. I'll let 
you know how it goes but if this is true - a correct fix should get rid 
of some of those rare/spurious/non-reproducible test failures I've seen 
reported in Boost Build test results from time to time... :-)

   Best regards,
