What version do you have? There is no such string in 1.34.0 and later, so I'm assuming you have an old version and so am closing the issue.

I see

static const std::string dummy_first_name( "." );

at operations.cpp:1185 in the trunk.

Yep, I saw that too last night. I had been looking at the Windows code; the fix was needed in the POSIX code.

In researching this further, I realized that revision 35823 inadvertently dropped fixes from the two prior revisions. I'm fixing those too.

These fixes are going into branches/filesystem in a few minutes. I hope to merge that branch into the trunk later this week.

Thanks,

OK, the fixes were committed this morning. See revision 39002. I'm closing the ticket.
