Comment (by Dimitrij Drus):
I just moved to the 1.46.1 version of boost. It still lacks the visibility
support for boost::exception. The trunk has corresponding adjustments,
which however are not complete. Within the exception.hpp there is a
forward declaration of the exception class. Without surrounding this
forward declaration with GCC visibility pragmas too, the boost::exception
can't be catched if throwed across the shared lib boundaries.
The behaviour was observed on Ubuntu 10.04 with gcc version 4.4.3.
