[Boost-users] filesystem::current_path() memory leak?

After a few hour searching for a memory leak, the cause seems to be related
to the following line: 

boost::filesystem::path full_path( boost::filesystem2::current_path() ); 

or 

boost::filesystem2::current_path();

I'm loading the boost filesystem library as a dynamically linked library (
boost_filesystem-vc100-mt-gd-1_44.dll ) in a MFC application using VC++
2010. I'm calling the current_path function during the application's
InitInstance method. 

I'm a little clueless about the cause of the memory leak, so any suggestions
would be helpful. I doubt the the memory dump will be useful, but here it
is:
