I was misleading myself - when you run the test with bjam the std output 
is redirected to a file... :~(

The test *is* executing and it causes a SIGSEGV in xcopy. The signal is 
trapped in execution_monitor.ipp which then throws an exception. At this 
  point the process blocks against a mutex somewhere in the system. This 
only happens with the Dinkumware library and not with the GNU library.

It appears that the monitored/timeout facility built into regression.py 
is not sophisticated enough to catch a stalled process(?) Is there any 
way the in bidir_vec_remove_edge test can be temporarily bypassed so 
that I can resume regression tests?
