Comment:

 The original problem and the example from Fraser Hutchison appear to have
 been corrected some time ago.

 The code supplied by Andrei Ortolan works fine for me, once the missing
 backslashes are added.

 The code supplied by Nils Gladitz (Test test1; Test test2;) fails for me
 on static builds. It is not failing for me for shared builds. Tests run
 only on Windows.

 There is a simple workaround; add path p("narrow"; before the two Test
 variables, and it works fine.

 I'd like to fix the underlying problem, but have not come up with anything
 workable. So it will stay open for a while longer.

 Thanks,
