Hi, I'm being bitten by the bug discussed here http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/filesystem-segfault-in-path-imbue-after-u... I'm encountering this when using boost 1.50. I have to support multiple boost versions, so I may bump into this in other versions as well.

From looking at the commit logs of boost svn I see that this is being worked on at the moment. But I would like to know what versions this bug affect, and if there are any ideas for a workaround. To me it looks like it affects most versions of boost filesystem, and I have been unable to come up with a workaround other than removing all use of filesystem in any place that could be called before main() has started. I would really like not having to do that! We use it quite a lot during static initialization...

I've tried calling imbue(...) and codecvt() manually before using path, but that doesnt really help. The path_locale is in an anonymous namespace, which stops me from initializing it myself... Any other ideas? Sincerely Lars
