--------------------------------------------------------+-------------------
 Hello,

 I'm using boost::filesystem within my project (boost 1.47.0). I have
 compiled the boost under cygwin with bjam. I have some problems with
 exception throws / catches:
 The following example shows the problem:

 #include <stdexcept>
 #include <boost/filesystem.hpp>

 int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
     throw std::runtime_error("xxx");
     return 0;
 }

 If I compile this code under Cygwin and link cygboost_filesystem,
 cygboost_system and libbost_exception, the programs terminates with this
 messages:
 terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
 terminate called recursively

 If I remove the boost/filesystem include the program produce the correct
 message:
 terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
   what():  xxx


 If I change the program to:

 int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
         try {
                 throw std::runtime_error("xxx");
         } catch (...) {}
         return 0;
 }

 the program breaks down with the filesystem include:
 terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
 terminate called recursively

 without the include always works fine.


 Thanks a lot
