 Hello,

 I'm using the the Log component of Boost 1.54 compiled from source and I
 get many memory errors and segfault while invoking the function
 logging::add_file_log. To make sure it was not my code, I went to the
 Boost installation and ran valgrind on some of the Log examples that
 invoke that function and it happens also there. The minimalistic example
 tutorial_file.cpp reveals the issue (though there may be more issues with
 Log). I get many memory errors in Mac OS X and Ubuntu, in Mac OS X it
 doesn't crash the application but I get a segfault in Ubuntu.

 I'm attaching the valgrind output on Ubuntu 12.04 with kernel version
 "Linux HPC 3.5.0-40-generic #62~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 23 17:38:26
 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux".

 Best regards,
 Giovanni
