I've asked on the bug tracker for the compiler and O/S versions involved. My 
guess is that this is the Metrowerks 9.5 std::remove() bug on Mac OS X, 
rather than a bug in Boost code.

In the meantime, I'm adding test cases to operations_test to detect the OP's 
reported error.

Now that the Dirxion Mac OS X tests are cycling again, it looks like the 
filesystem operations_test is passing for Metrowerks 9.5. So the workaround 
was successful, and that will close this bug report if in fact it happened 
on Metrowerks/Mac OS X.
