Re: [boost] boost::posix_time::time_duration greater than 24 hours

My apologies for not specifing this earlier - i just assumed that many
people had previously run into it.  Michael Mathews is correct about the
operator<<() and strftime.c being the cause of this issue.

operator<<(ostream&, time_duration const&) basically converts the
time_duration object to a tm struct using the function
boost::posix_time::to_tm(time_duration const&).  At this point, the tm
structure contains an hours value of 24 - which Microsoft considers to
be out-of-range.  Further down the stack the _Strftime_l() function
verifies the tm structure and everything comes to a crashing halt at
this point.

The MSDN docs for _Strftime_l() states that this function will check the
tm struct for invalid and out-of-range values and will call the invalid
parameter handler in this case.

Hope that helps  :-)
