     Type:  Bugs                   |      Status:  new         
Milestone:  To Be Determined       |   Component:  filesystem  
  Version:  Boost 1.44.0           |    Severity:  Optimization
 Keywords:                         |  
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 The following code produces path3 as \abc\\def\, which is not expected.

 {{{
 filesystem::path path1("\\abc\\");
 filesystem::path path2("\\def\\");
 filesystem::path path3 = path1 / path2;
 }}}

 Though the OS level API can handle duplicate path seps correctly, but it
 is not considered good practice to return path strings like this.
