Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #4567: exists method core-dumps

The backslashes didn't get printed correctly. So, I'm using BS for backslash ("\") (the Windows dir symbol). There will be two blackslahes that causes the crash.

dir = "/home/user1BSBSdir1"; exists( dir ); --> crashes

However, if we have dir = "/homeBSBSuser1"; exists( dir ); DOES not cause a crash

For any clarifications, you can contact me by email given.

I'm wondering if this is a Samba bug, rather than a Boost.Filesystem bug.

Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Samba, so that makes it very difficult to test.

If you could run your test program under a debugger and let me know where (i.e. what line in what function) the crash is occurring, that might help.

Thanks,
