Milestone:  To Be Determined         |   Component:  filesystem
  Version:  Boost 1.52.0             |    Severity:  Problem   
 Keywords:  create_directories()     |  
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 for example, if we want to create that following directory:
 path="C:/users/test/"

 the function create_directories(path) returns false even if the directory
 is created and exists.

 However, if we remove the slash at the end of the string
 path="C:/users/test", the function returns true.

 Is it the normal behavior of that function?

 Thanks.
