     Type:  Bugs              |      Status:  new       
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |   Component:  filesystem
  Version:  Boost 1.52.0      |    Severity:  Problem   
 Keywords:                    |  
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 The problem appears in particular with Boost.Log. On program termination,
 Boost.Log may attempt to perform final log file rotation, which involves
 calling Boost.Filesystem routines (path construction, in particular). But
 Boost.Filesystem is not usable at this point because its global locale is
 already destroyed.

 Boost.Filesystem should remain usable during global constructors and
 destructors. The global locale should either be embedded into the path
 object (preferred solution, IMHO) or the library should ensure its
 availability during these stages.
