[boost] filesystem segfault on startup

Subject: [boost] filesystem segfault on startup

I’m using a BGQ machine and have compiled boost 1_55 using gcc4.8.2, the application I am testing does not use filesystem itself, but the libraries it pulls in do. On startup I have segfaults with a stack trace like this (below)

Can anyone tell what is going wrong (lots of locale related problems on this machine it seems). I have no knowledge of boost.filesystem internals and I would like to work around this if possible.

Thanks

JB
