Re: [boost] a lexical_cast<> bug?

Hello,

I recently discovered even more surprising behavior of
lexical_cast (at least on VC++6sp4):

locale::global(locale("german"));
// ...
int i = 12345;
string s = lexical_cast<string>(i); // this will succeed
double d = lexical_cast<double>(s); // this will throw

I am kinda cautious about using lexical_cast after that,
especially when not in "C" locale...
