4783	unit_tests fails on every platform: test.jam: No such file or directory	Jim Bell <jim@…>	Vladimir Prus	"The build/unit_tests test fails on every platform with
{{{
test.jam: No such file or directory
}}}

Note that the BOOST_BUILD_PATH passed to bjam has a trailing .. on the directory. Indeed test.jam is not found in the parent directory specified, but the test subdirectory. So omit the trailing '..' and it should work.

For many platforms, this is the only failure for build. But this failure marks build as fail/yellow on the main regression matrix for every platform, reducing confidence in it. (This is why I mark it a showstopper.)

Typical failure report:

----
