Starting right about the time of the revision 41056 threads changes, the Windows smoke tests started to pop up dialog boxes (rather than just failing quietly) for various threads problems. bjam had not been recompiled, and there was nothing else running on the machine at the time.
Is this a threads problem, or did something go haywire on my machine?
The error handling is changed in VC8, see: http://blog.kalmbachnet.de/?postid=75 When we started using VC8 SP1, we had to add a background process looking for error dialogs and automatically closing them (otherwise the failing processes just hangs, and our redundancy mechanisms could not do a ting). The change in VS SP1 was really bad for us. /$
