10205	FileSystem runtime error: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid	sleary@…	Beman Dawes	"Ok this is still broken (see Ticket #5928). On Solaris 10 (sparc) compile this...

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>

int main (void)
{
  std::cout << boost::filesystem::unique_path(""/some/random/path/%%%%%%%"").c_str() << std::endl;
  return 0;
}

linking against system and filesystem

I had compiled boost_1_55_0 from the site and built just filesystem and system (because program_options fails to compile with gcc 4.9.0 but thats a separate issue). I created the above example in stage/lib folder and ran.. 

g++ test.cpp -I../../ -L. -lboost_filesystem -lboost_system

Below are the results...

bash-3.2$ locale

This is utterly crippling and renders boost filesystem useless on Solaris 10.
