Milestone:  To Be Determined                               |   Component:  exception     
  Version:  Boost 1.40.0                                   |    Severity:  Showstopper   
 Keywords:                                                 |  
-----------------------------------------------------------+----------------
 All of the boost exception classes, including but not necessarily limited
 to:
 * boost::exception
 * boost::unknown_exception
 * boost::exception_detail::clone_base

 do not have visibility attributes associated with them.  This means that,
 when files are built using GCC with -fvisibility=hidden, classes derived
 from these types become uncatchable as these types when thrown across
 library boundaries.
