  Version:  Boost 1.42.0             |    Severity:  Problem

-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 In the filesystem library, file operations.cpp calls std::malloc without
 having included either <cstdlib> or <stdlib.h>. The code can work by
 accident if one of the standard library headers includes <stdlib.h> or
 <cstdlib>, but you can't depend on it. The code fails to compile using
 Apache stdcxx due to the missing header.

 The C++ rule is that if you use a declaration from a standard header, you
 must explicitly include that header. Reference: C++ 2003 standard, section
 17.4.2.1 "Headers".
