I am getting a crash on Windows when passing a path that contains 
umlauts (like sampëüö ) to the path constructor.

I tried boost 1.69 and boost 1.60.

Here's the code I am using:

   namespace fs = boost::filesystem;

   const char* tmp = setlocale(LC_ALL, N_(""));

   // Create and install global locale
std::locale::global(boost::locale::generator().generate( N_("") ));

   // Make boost.filesystem use it
   fs::path::imbue(std::locale());

   if ( !tmp )  tmp = setlocale( LC_ALL, NULL );

   std::string program = argv[0];
   fs::path file = fs::path( program );   // CRASH
