#9099: boost::filesystem::stem() reporting wrong value on some entries (seen on
Linux)
------------------------------+------------------------
 Reporter:  bach@…            |      Owner:  bemandawes
     Type:  Bugs              |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  filesystem
  Version:  Boost 1.50.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                    |
------------------------------+------------------------
 Compiled with gcc on Linux.

 Consider the following example with an empty string as path:
 {{{
   boost::filesystem::path mypath("");
   cout << mypath.parent_path().native() << endl;
   cout << mypath.stem().native() << endl;
 }}}

 This will print out, as expected, two empty strings. If one now changes
 the path to be analysed into "tmp/", like this:

 {{{
   boost::filesystem::path mypath("tmp/");
   cout << mypath.parent_path().native() << endl;
   cout << mypath.stem().native() << endl;
 }}}

 then the output will be "tmp" on one line (totally expected and correct)
 and "." on the next line (totally unexpected and wrong, it should be an
 empty string).
