Hi All,
  
 I am having the same errors as in this post:
 http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2006/09/22001.php
  
 I have tried downloading the boost-jam both binary:
  boost-jam-3.1.13-1-ntx86.zip (I  get the same error as the above post)
 And from source:
  boost-jam-3.1.13.zip
  
 I get a "Debug Assertion Failed!" error when I run build.bat
 Program: C:\Boost\boost-jam-3.1.13\bootstrap\jam0.exe
 File: dtoxtm64.c
 Line: 67
 Expression: ( ( ( long )( yr - 1990) >= BASE_YEAR) && ( ( long  )( yr - 1990 ) <= _MAX_YEAR64 ) )
  
 Running the prebuilt bjam.exe file in the Threads build directory
 (running from Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt):
 C:\Boost\boost_1_33_1\libs\thread\build>bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-8_0"
 Built three library files.  So I think the bjam.exe file probably is not  corrupt.
  
 If I run (from Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt):
 C:\Boost\boost_1_33_1>bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-8_0 --with-threads"
 I get the same 00012f2a error as before.
  
 Other Notes:
 I have Visual C++ 2003 Standard and Visual Studio 2005 Pro Installed.   Starting with the appropriate command prompt, I get the same error on both at  Offset 0001f2fa.  My machine is an Dell Latitude Centrinio Running Windows XP  Pro SP2.
  
 Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  
 Thanks,
 David Cravey
