Hi Lars,

I'm not the library author, but I've taken a look at the source code for the
Boost 1.85 redistributable, and the change is there (line 674 of
boost_1_85_0/libs/filesystem/src/directory.cpp).  Also, the change is 
reflected
in the release notes, see "1.81.0" at

https://www.boost.org/libs/filesystem/doc/release_history.html

Can you confirm on your side?

Now, looks like there's a documentation issue because the page above
does not seem to be linked anywhere from

https://www.boost.org/libs/filesystem

I'll open a ticket for that.
