Dear boot users,

I'm using boost 1.33 with Visual C++ 7.
I need to create an instance of boost::filesystem::path.
I tried :

> std::string dir="c:\\";
> boost::filesystem::path my_path(dir);

The compilation is successful but at the execution, I obtain a non handled
exception in the xstring file at the end of this function :

>      void _Tidy(bool _Built = false,
>         size_type _Newsize = 0)
>         {    // initialize buffer, deallocating any storage
>         if (!_Built)
>             ;
>         else if (_BUF_SIZE <= _Myres)
>             {    // copy any leftovers to small buffer and deallocate
>             _Elem *_Ptr = _Bx._Ptr;
>             if (0 < _Newsize)
>                 _Traits::copy(_Bx._Buf, _Ptr, _Newsize);
>             _Mybase::_Alval.deallocate(_Ptr, _Myres + 1);
>             }
>         _Myres = _BUF_SIZE - 1;
>         _Eos(_Newsize);
>         }

Any help is welcome.
Thanks in advance !
