[Boost-users] abort when constructing filesystem::path object

Hi

I'm trying to use the filesystem library, and I get an abort when trying
to initialise a path object with a string containing a space.

#include <boost/filesystem/path.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    boost::filesystem::path p1("hello");
    std::cout << p1.string();
    boost::filesystem::path p2("hello world");
    std::cout << p2.string();

}

when run, this prints:

helloAborted

I couldn't find anything saying that the string path constructor can't
contain a space.  

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

Using gcc 3.3.4 on Debian.

thanks,

Richard
