258,failure in boost jam unit tests on cygwin,cakoose,René Rivera,"{{{
Boost Jam Version 3.1.9

The unit tests seem to assume that the ""/cygdrive""
mount exists.  I had changed mine to ""/drive"" and when
I tried to build, I got an assertion failure:

assertion ""self->size < self->capacity"" failed: file
""strings.c"", line 16

self->size == -165761813
self->capacity == 64

backtrace:
   assert_invariants (strings.c:15)
   string_free (strings.c:44)
   var_expand (expand.c:410)
   var_expand_unit_test (expand.c:696)
   run_unit_tets (jam.c:197)
   main (jam.c:299)

Even if it's not worth it to accomodate non-standard
Cygwin setups such as mine, I wouldn't expect the
assertion failure to occur in strings.c.

I think this can be reproduced by changing the
""/cygdrive/c/foo/bar"" string constants to invalid paths
(in expand.c on lines 682 and 702)
