I believe something down in the unit test framework was being
compiled. I am away from my work machine so I can not be more
specific. I don't think I did anything out of the ordinary when trying
to compile Boost. I downloaded the tar ball from boost.org, used bjam
to configure and build. Then I got the errors. Although I do find it
odd that this was not caught during the release preparations.

  So I am thinking maybe a Windows 7 x64, VS2008 specific bug?
