This behavior is also known to occur on Win32 in certain circumstances (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841524). Current trunk code throws an exception from the directory_iterator constructor. I suggest checking for both codes; proposed patch is attached." Patches closed filesystem Boost Development Trunk Problem fixed
