[Boost-users] filesystem::directory_iterator::operator++() never returns

I'm using the fielsystem library's directory_iterator class to collect
information about the files in a directory.  I'm using VC7.0, and Boost
1.30.2.

My logic looks something like this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
class DirInfo
{
public:
    DirInfo(fs::path aPath) : myPath(aPath){}
    void scan();
    void addFile(fs::path);
private:
   fs::path myPath;
}

void DirInfo::scan ()
{
    fs::directory_iterator itEnd;
    for (fs::directory_iterator it(myPath); it != itEnd; ++it)
    {
        TRACE("File: %s\n", it->string().c_str());
        if (!fs::is_directory(*it))
        {
            addFile(*it);
        }
    }
}

DirInfo di(fs::path("C:\\temp\\", fs::native);
di.scan();
----------------------------------------------------------

This successfully goes through all of the files (and subdirectories) in the
given directory, but after the last item, the next call to
fs::directory_iterator::operator ++() never returns.  If anyone has any
suggestions or ideas, I would love to hear them!!  Thanks!

The call stack at the point where execution seems to lock up looks like
this:

      ntdll.dll!NtDelayExecution()  + 0xc
      kernel32.dll!_Sleep_at_4()  + 0xb
