 I used boost 1.33, but it didn't accept "@" in filenames, so I upgraded.
 Now the problems are even more severe, take a look:

 /etc/apache2/ssl.key/README

 is this path ok? Sure it is, but boost says (runtime error):

 terminate called after throwing an instance of
 'boost::filesystem::basic_filesystem_error<boost::filesystem::basic_path<std:
 :string, boost::filesystem::path_traits> >'
   what():  boost::filesystem::exists

 (I wanted to check if the file exists). Sorry for rather lengthy example,
 I tried to shorten it, this still causes the error
 /etc/apache2/ssl.key/R

 but my next tries to cut some more resulted in "correct" filename.
