Over on the Boost-Users mailinglist we have found that this environment variable (and perhaps unknown but maybe others) will cause bootstrap.sh / Jam failure during the Boost libraries compile and install.
Heres the full thread:

You (or Jam developement team) may wish to consider taking some kind of action to avoid this as VMS is a very common acronym for "Virtual Machines". Its usage elsewhere is widespread and certainly not Boost-specific.
Other choices of course - maybe look towards documenting such usag(es) if they cannot be easily avoided. Or consider ways to detect / warn / clean out the users shell environment variables if they are conflicting. Sorry I cant help any further however as a new user I simply have no experience with the Boost library yet.
Can you try the attached patch? I've tested it on Windows 7 and Fedora 14.
Its a good effort. I downloaded that revision from SVN and applied the patch. Heres the console output: https://gist.github.com/916059 Let me know if you want me to try it again - i'd be happy to.
In Christ, Steven Watanabe
