Milestone:  To Be Determined      |  Component:  filesystem

----------------------------------+-------------------------
 I'm attempting to check whether a file on a shared path exists. The path
 is an unaccessible RDC share on WinXP.

 Code snippet:

 {{{
 bool fileOk = boost::filesystem::exists(i_pFileName, ec) &&
 boost::filesystem::is_regular_file(i_pFileName, ec);
 }}}


 pFileName is a const char*, value

 {{{
 \\tsclient\E\floating_Jasper.cap
 }}}


 That specific path is inaccessible.

 I can't post the whole call stack because of company policy, but the
 faulting boost frames are as follows:


 {{{

 }}}

 I'd expect this to return an error code and not crash.
