This should be fixed now.

The take-home point is that Boost.System and Boost.Filesystem changes 
need to be tested on Windows, Linux, and Darwin. I had tested the change 
that caused the above problem on Windows and Linux, but assumed that if 
it worked on gcc/Linux it would work on gcc/Darwin. Wrong assumption.
