8930,boost::path::root_directory() throws locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid,Yaohan Chen <yaohan.chen@…>,Beman Dawes,"On Arch Linux with boost 1.54.0, I'm getting locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid when calling boost::path::root_directory() while LANG is set to a locale which is unlisted in locale -a.

boost_file_system_test.cpp:
{{{
#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>
int main() {
  boost::filesystem::path(""/abc"").root_directory();
}
}}}

Compiling, running and backtrace:
