I also made this experience. I already corrected the links in the CVS
version of this document, but not on the website. (I am not sure about
the policy of changing the current website.)

In this case you might be better off going to boost_root/status and
issue "bjam toolset=<my-toolset>" from there. Probably it also is a good
idea to capture the output to a file for later review.
The resression.py is good for sharing your test results with others on
the web site.
