 Hi,

 I have built the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Boost libraries on
 Solaris 10 x86.  I specified the following options when I built the
 libraries:

         runtime-link=shared

         link=shared

 Now, I'm trying to experiment with the libraries and I'm observing some
 inconsistency.

 I wrote the program test_space.cpp to display the space information about
 the current filesystem using version 3 of the Boost filesystem library.

 When I run the 32-bit version of test_space.cpp, I get the following
 results:

   capacity  =        33666173952

   free      =                  0

   available =        33410671616


 When I run the 64-bit version of test_space.cpp, I get the following
 results:

   capacity  =        33666173952

   free      =        33410000896

   available =        33073339392

 Based on the above results, it seems that the 32-bit version is not
 behaving correctly.  Am I missing something here?

 Here's another observation I have.  I wrote another program
 test_direntry.cpp to display the file type of three paths again using
 version 3 of the Boost filesystem library.

 When I run the 32-bit version of test_direntry.cpp, I get the following
 results:

   An unknown path:

     dummy status is file not found

   A file path:

     bin-soli32/test_direntry status is type unknown

   A directory path:

     /home/Leo/Devel/projects/compiler_tests/test_direntry status is type
 unknown

 When I run the 64-bit version of test_direntry.cpp, I get the following
 results:

   An unknown path:

     dummy status is file not found

   A file path:

     bin-soli64/test_direntry status is regular file

   A directory path:

     /home/Leo/Devel/projects/compiler_tests/test_direntry status is
 directory file

 It appears from the above results that the 32-bit version of
 test_direntry.cpp isn't behaving correctly.  Do you have an idea what I
 could have done wrong or is this a bug in the library?

 Regards,
 Leo
