#4082: rename effects differ between POSIX and Windows systems

 Reporter:  andysem       |       Owner:  bemandawes
     Type:  Bugs          |      Status:  new       
Milestone:  Boost 1.43.0  |   Component:  filesystem
  Version:  Boost 1.42.0  |    Severity:  Problem   
 Keywords:  rename        |  
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 In case if rename() is called in the way that the source path points to a
 file on one device (drive) and the target path points to a file on another
 device, rename() moves the file on Windows, but fails on POSIX systems.
 I'd expect the function to behave similarly on all systems.
