-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 'filesystem::is_directory()' returns false for a directory with whole
 bunch of sibling directories. Run the following commands to create 2000
 sub-directories:

 C:\>mkdir temp_dir
 C:\>cd temp_dir
 C:\>for /L %i in (1, 1, 2000) do mkdir test_dir_%i
 C:\>mkdir test_dir

 Now try to execute the following statements under a debugger:
 'is_directory()' always returns false.

 boost::filesystem::path directory("C:\\temp_dir\\test_dir");
 bool isDir = boost::filesystem::is_directory(directory);
