------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 Boost.Filesystem v.3 keeps the locale used by path objects in a function-
 local static object (see path_locale function in path.cpp). If multiple
 threads use path methods that involve locale (such as string(), wstring(),
 converting constructors or assignment from strings), the code may use a
 not yet constructed locale object or leak the locale. The locale object
 must be protected with call_once or similar technique.
