Is this expected?

Shouldn't this be fixed by https://github.com/boostorg/ iostreams/pull/57 ? Or the PR has not made it into the master?

Apparently that was not merged to master before the master branch was closed for the beta.

I see. I understand it's too late now.

Hopefully it will be merged into master for 1.69.

It's too late for the beta release. It's not too late for the 1.68.0 release. -- Marshall
