Admittedly that&#39;s the part I hate most about having to use gcc3 BUT there&#39;s the problem about throwing exceptions across dll boundaries.<br><br>&gt;Exceptions cannot leave DLLs. This issue was fixed in the official MinGW
      releases with a local patch for the 3.4 series, but is not fixed in the
      main GCC sources. The problem only appears when a function in a DLL called
      from outside the DLL throws (or fails to catch) an exception, and results
      in program termination at that point.<br><br>Seeing as all boost libraries are built as dlls(as far as I am aware) this proves problematic.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/30/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">
