Thanks for the patch! The patch looks good to me, but I have one question -- those tests used to pass before, at least for some msvc testers. Do you know what made them fail now? Was that a change in Jamfile (I don't remember making any), or bzlib/zlib has changed.
"No idea" is fine for an answer, but if you know for sure, it would be even better ;-)
It is only when zlib or bzip2 are built from sources that this jamfile issue shows up. If I remember correctly, I think that in the past the Rudbek Associates test system was using already-built LIB or DLL files for zlib and bzip2. I believe that when Victor resurrected the test system a month or so ago, it got configured to built zlib and bzip2 from sources instead. Then these new regressions started showing up. That's my theory at least... -Dave
