I doubt you are doing anything out of the ordinary :-) MacOSX is just 
not a widely tested platform for Boost.

I only have OSX 10.2 so I can't try and reproduce the problem. Could you 
try building the debug version of bjam? With: "./build.sh --debug". 
Hopefully not having the optimizations will work around the problem. If 
not you can at least give us a stack trace if the problem is repeatable.

Is that binaries for bjam, or Boost? I guess I could try and make a bjam 
binary available through fink.
