Component:  None                    |    Version:  Boost 1.59.0
 Severity:  Problem                 |   Keywords:  remove_all throw
------------------------------------+------------------------------
 This issue has been reported 4y ago (boost 1.50.0) but it's still here.

 But I have an easier way to reproduce it.
 On a windows OS (I used win 8.1), create a folder somewhere, and use the
 windows properties on it to deny all access to it for you
 (FullAccess:Deny).
 Now, try to boost::filesystem::remove_all(folderPath, ec) on it.
 It will throw!
