 In Windows Mobile 5 (and possibly other versions), FindFirstFile() returns
 ERROR_NO_MORE_FILES (==18) rather than ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND (==2) when
 called on an empty directory. This behavior is also known to occur on
 Win32 in certain circumstances (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841524).
 Current trunk code throws an exception from the directory_iterator
 constructor.

 I suggest checking for both codes; proposed patch is attached.
