How do I debug a potential endless loop and heap corruption issue involving boost::interprocess "new managed_shared_memory" freezing forever or crashing?


I posted this on stackoverflow but I am hopeful that a real  expert in Boost::Interprocess may have seen this freeze-up and crash before. 

Outside the debugger it manifests as a freeze-up, inside the debugger it manifests as a series of exceptions inside an endless 
try-catch-ignore loop which is coded into the boost implementation code.
