I presume that you are building your application with a non-standard calling 
convention as the default?  The Boost libraries are built with whatever your 
compilers default is, so if you want to build with fastcall say then 
something like:

bjam -sTOOLS=vc-7_1 -sBUILD="<cxxflags>-Gr <threading>single/multi 
<runtime-link>static/dynmaic debug release" install

Should work.
