ICMessage::async_read(socket_,
boost::bind(&ClassifierContext::handleCmdMsg, this,
_1,_2,_3));
Since the io_service object is stopped in the destructor of ClassifierContext, shouldn't that be OK? Or should
I still try to create a shared_from_this off of the ClassifierContext class?

If you use patterns like
boost::bind( &some_class::some_mem_fn, this, .... )
then it could be that the instance of some_class is destructed before the
bind-expression is. If the handler is called with "operation cancelled"
(which should happen with all waiting handlers if you call
io_service.stop()), it tries to make a call into freed memory -- you can
expect a crash, indeed. To solve this, one can use shared_from_this(),
boost::bind( &some_class::some_mem_fn, shared_from_this(), .... )
to make sure the object's lifetime will be at least that of the incomplete
handler.
