That was the problem... I didn't realize, after reading your previous
e-mail, that jam had to be rebuilt. I thought you had changed something
in the build of AboutHaiku to fix the problem. The next time I went to
build haiku-image (after replacing my edited Jamfile with the original
one), it worked fine, oddly enough...
But now that I've rebuilt jam from the buildtools tree, it's working
fine. It does still encounter some waif children, but continues on it's
merry way.
