#10641: boost::filesystem::path::parent_path() throws run time error
locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

 Reporter:  maxiaoyin@…       |      Owner:  bemandawes
     Type:  Bugs              |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  filesystem
  Version:  Boost 1.56.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  filesystem        |
------------------------------+------------------------
 I have the following code under ubuntu 12.04 with gcc 4.3.6 .

 {{{
 #include <iostream>
 #include <boost/filesystem/path.hpp>
 using namespace std;
 namespace fs = boost::filesystem
 int main(int argc, char** argv)
 {

         try
         {
                 fs::path my_path("test/test.txt");
                 cout << "current path is      " << my_path << endl;
                 cout << "parent path is       " << my_path.parent_path()
 << endl;
         }
         catch(std::exception& e) {
                 cerr << endl << "Error during execution: " << e.what() <<
 endl << endl;
                 return EXIT_FAILURE;
         }
         return EXIT_SUCCESS;
 }
 }}}

 I was able to create a path using the string "test/test.txt" and print out
 the path as a string. However, when I was trying to access the
 parent_path() or stem() or extension()  the program will fail and throw
 locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid error.

 output:
 current path is      "test/test.txt"

 Error during execution: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
