Description
The filesystem library function canonical(p, base) fails for all UNC paths on Windows because it gets an "invalid path" error when it calls symlink_status at line 816 of operations.cpp. Example: For the path "server/share/file", the first time execution reaches line 816 of operations.cpp, it calls is_symlink(detail::symlink_status("server", ec)) and ec is set to the Windows "invalid path" system error code.

Your WikiFormatting corrupted my text slightly. The example path, shown above as "server/share/file", should be preceded by two forward slashes. Same for the string "server" in the call to symlink_status.
