Lawrence Gold Ion Gaztañaga "The attached patch causes boost::interprocess::get_temporary_path() to make sure the paths in the given environment variables are valid before assuming success. I'm using OS X, and had deleted the last directory listed in $TMPDIR, which caused boost::interprocess::message_queue to fail. Granted, that's not likely to happen very often, but it'd be nice to be able to handle sabotage from an idiot like me. " Patches closed Boost 1.39.0 interprocess Boost 1.38.0 Problem fixed
