Hello everyone

I'm trying to build boost 1.42 on XP with Visual Studio 2005 with the
following commands in the Visual Studio Command Prompt:

> set boost_dir=C:\Programme\boost\boost_1_42_0
> bjam --build-type=complete --with-thread --with-test --with-system
--with-serialization --with-regex --with-program_options --with-filesystem
--with-date_time --prefix=%boost_dir% --includedir=%boost_dir%
--libdir=%boost_dir%\lib --exec-prefix=%boost_dir% install

Now bjam "hangs", using 50% CPU (one core fully utilized), after this
output:

D:\Downloads\boost_1_42_0>bjam --build-type=complete --with-thread
--with-test --with-system --with-serialization --with-regex
--with-program_options --with-filesystem --with-date_time
--prefix=%boost_dir% --includedir=%boost_dir% --libdir=%boost_dir%\lib
--exec-prefix=%boost_dir%  install

Interestingly enough, just running "bjam --build-type=complete" without any
other options, starts the build as expected.

Any hints how to debug this?
