Package: bjam
Version: 3.1.14-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I updated my Sid system last night. Since the update, which took bjam
from 3.1.14-1 to 3.1.14-2, bjam segfaults on startup. This happens even
if bjam cannot locate any control file, in which case it normally just
produces an informational message and exits. 'bjam -h' does, however,
produce the usage message successfully.

Downgrading to 3.1.14-1 fixes the problem.
