 I found another problem in boost asio library.

     I created a pipe server and keep it reading from a windows pipe(read
 128 bytes for each operation). Then I created a pipe client to write 257
 bytes data to the pipe and the programs crashes at the
 "operation::do_completion" routine. I have attached the program with full
 source code, so you can reproduce it (written in VC2008).

     A possible solution to this problem is located at
 http://wrongpc.blogspot.com/2009/03/boost-asio-for-windows-pipe-bug.html

     It can fix the problem, but the method needs to change boost asio
 source code, so it's not very convenient.
