8708	surprising element segmentation	Dave Abrahams	Beman Dawes	"I was shocked today to find that this fails:

{{{#!cpp
assert(
    boost::starts_with(
        boost::filesystem::path(""/website/public_html/""),
        boost::filesystem::path(""/website/"")));
}}}

The reason is that the 2nd path has 3 elements, {{{""/""}}}, {{{""website""}}}, and {{{"".""}}}.  I found that last one especially surprising."	Bugs	new	To Be Determined	filesystem	Boost 1.52.0	Problem
