You are posting the io_object::stop_all() call into the io_service here:

> io_object_temp->get_ioservice().post(boost::bind(&io_object::stop_all,
> io_object_temp));

and then inside io_object::stop_all() you attempt to join() the thread
that is calling io_service::run():

> 	execution_thread->join();

Since the io_service executes posted handlers inside io_service::run(),
this may mean you are trying to join the thread from within the thread
itself. I suggest moving the join() call to io_object_pool::stop_all()
so that it is performed outside of the io_service::run() thread.

Cheers,
