There is a bug in Boost.Filesystem.V3 which gives incorrect results or a 
crash on QNX (at least on 6.5.0) when the Filesystem library uses the stat() 
function internally to check the status of a file or directory. It sounds as 
though that could explain your problem.

See here:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5355 (issue 2)

Try patching Filesystem as described or if possible switch to Filesystem.V2 
(see the documentation).
