So do you really want to unwind the stack on program crashes (instead of
aborting at crash point) as well?

If you believe that you still somehow must handle it then you can add
catch(...) yourself but don't insist on catch(...) and unwinding
mandatory made by the implementation (or Boost.Thread for that matter).
