Hello folks!
Sorry for the late reply. I found what was wrong.
boost::filesystem directory_iterator throws an exception when access is
denied for a folder.
So I need to create a check for this before recursing into any folder.
Thanks for the replies!

This is what I was going to mention in my post with . and .. special directories. With the approach used the infinite loop should happen already with the first occurence of .-directory, which would recurse in the same directory and find the first item (.-dir again).
No because boost::filesystem directory iterators do not expose (ie automatically skip) "." and "..".
