Thanks! The bjam part is now running, but the post test processing is failing. The failure is occurring in the Boost.test tests library. I won't be able to look at it until late afternoon; the error message from the post-processing program was less that helpful.

We need to find a way to better test changes to the test library because failure in it cause the whole regression testing system to fail. Perhaps all changes to Boost.Test should first go on a branch, and only be merged when they have been tested with several compilers and operating systems.
