True: in my case because I use TortoiseCVS, commits under boost/regex and 
libs/regex more or less have to occur separately: unless that is I'm 
absolutely certain there are no other changes anywhere else in the tree that 
I've made - been caught that way before and it's embarrassing !  The 
alternative is to go back to using the cvs command line :-(

BTW in this case the two commits were made within a minute or two of each 
other, and Rene's Buildbot apparently listed both of them, so I suspect that 
the problem may be elsewhere (bjam dependency analysis not causing all the 
files that need rebuilding to actually be rebuilt, would be my favourite 
culprit, but there's no way I can prove that.  So many tools, so many 
possible causes etc.... ).
