#13406: Boost 1.65.1 : Boost filesystem error codes for  non existent files seems

---------------------------------+---------------------
 Boost::filesystem::equivalent() when called on two non-existent files ,
 error codes generated seems to be incorrect.

 I am attaching simple test case which calls
 boost::filesystem::equivalent() on two non-existent files.

 #include "boost/filesystem/operations.hpp"
 #include <iostream>
 int main() {

     boost::filesystem::path path1("foo");
     boost::filesystem::path path2("bar");
     boost::system::error_code ec;
     if(!boost::filesystem::equivalent(path1,path2,ec))
     {
         std::cout<<"error code: " << ec << std::endl;;
         std::cout<<"error message: " << ec.message() << std::endl;;

     }
     return 0;
 }

 The output of the test case with boost 1.56 is

 **********************************************
 error code: system:2
 error message: No such file or directory
 **********************************************

 The output of the test case with boost 1.65 is

 ***********************************************
 error code: system:1
 error message: Operation not permitted
 ***********************************************

 Is this change an intentional one or a bug?
