[boost] boost::filesystem problems under windows

hi there,

I'v some trouble with filesystem::path manipulation
with boost release 1.31 / vc 7.1 .

The code

-----------
  fs::path src = fs::path(__FILE__, fs::no_check);
  std::cout << "src= " << src.string() << std::endl;
  fs::path dir = src.branch_path();
  std::cout << "script dir= " << dir.string() << std::endl;
-----------

generates the output

src= C:\cygwin\home\stefan\ToolBox\test\scripting\Algo\embedding.cpp
script dir= C:

i.e. it appears path::branch_path() doesn't work. Does anybody
have an idea what's going on here ?

Thanks,
                Stefan

PS: oh, and if I replace the fs::no_check above by fs::native,
    I get an exception 'invalid path' which, I assume, fs::native
    is supposed to suppress.
