[Boost-users] fs::exists() question

Hello all, 

            I started using the file system about a week ago in order to port a Windows application using win API calls to manipulate folders and file on Linux. So far it works great but I am having one issue, 
the fs::exists() function seems to throw an exception when I try to look for directory containing special characters like ./test[0] ./test<1> etc. Is this normal ? I can create directory with these characters
using mkdir in Linux so it should be legal names. 

Any ideas ?

Thanks for your time

Simon
