Hi Volodya,

Thanks again. So I compiled 3.1.19. It now works like a charm again, on 
all platforms I use.

Good to know.

But it probably should be announced properly. Am I the only one having 
these sudden problems?

Something happened between about a week ago and this morning. I update 
the trunk regularly, using a distributed and most recent bjam. I do like 
this already for two years. Suddenly, after an update, it stops working 
completely on all platforms and I have to compile bjam myself. I cannot 
find anything in the release notes about this, or on the Boost website, 
or in the ML (last week). I'm not subscribed to the boost-build ML, by 
the way.

Downloads (on sourceforge, directed from boost.org/users/download) still 
announce: "Looking for the latest version? Download 
boost-jam-3.1.18-1-ntx86.zip (121.4 KB)"...

Regards, Barend
