[boost] Need assistance with "filesystem"

From: Allen (allen.saucier_at_[hidden])

Hello, I know that I've asked this before but I have received no 
response.  So, I hope it is permissible to ask again.  I really need 
help with understanding what is happening as I really need boost to work 
for me.

I'm a newbie to boost & am trying to use the "filesystem" library with 
.Net 2005.  I've gotten boost to compile & produce the following 
libraries for windows vc-8_0 tool set: (@ bottom of email)

The problem I'm having is 2 fold:

1. which ones do I use ( I think I know, but...)
2. I am using
  C:\boost\lib\boost_filesystem-vc80-mt-1_33_1.lib
  C:\boost\lib\boost_filesystem-vc80-mt-1_33_1.dll
3. I've got the dll in the directory my executable runs from
4. I'm including the library w/in my project

But, every time I run my application, it bombs on the following code:

std::cerr << "file selection has changed: Fname/Folder:" << std::endl;
Glib::ustring gus_fname = 
m_filechooserbuttonChooseComponentsFile->get_filename();
std::cerr << "file name:=" << gus_fname << std::endl << std::endl;

Glib::ustring gus_fname_foler = 
m_filechooserbuttonChooseComponentsFile->get_current_folder();
std::cerr << "folder:=" << gus_fname_foler << std::endl << std::endl;

m_gusFobComponentsFileFullPath = gus_fname;

std::cerr << "using paths..." << std::endl;
boost::filesystem::path  p(m_gusFobComponentsFileFullPath, 
boost::filesystem::native);  (****  BOMB ****)

The variable, m_gusFobComponentsFileFullPath, has the value:   
C:\projects\cramOSG_console\trunk\CRAMComponents.fob

For the life of me, I can not figure out why boost is crashing.  An 
older version of boost works just fine w/ this code and I am wondering 
if I'm using the correct libraries or perhaps what was compiled is not 
correct.
The error give is not a simple one to debug.  The application simply 
crashes @ the point noted when run.  Under the debugger, it simply 
crashes in a "locked" file and since I'm not using the debug version of 
the libs, I can't walk into the code.

Would someone please help me?  Thank you so much ahead of time.  I 
appreciate your advice and comments.
