Emil,

Does that mean you are in favour of fixing
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2932 "iostreams file_descriptor:
possible throw of exception in call to destructor"?

This was raised seven months ago. Since there's been no response from
the Boost.Iostreams maintainer, is it possible for someone else to make
the trivial patch?

Thanks,
Gareth
