 Reporter:  nikita.trophimov@…  |      Owner:  cornedbee
     Type:  Bugs                |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined    |  Component:  property_tree
  Version:  Boost 1.54.0        |   Severity:  Problem

--------------------------------+---------------------------
 boost::property_tree::ptree can't handle files with BOM (at least for
 UTF-8).
