 I think that the exception_ptr_test.cpp file has a bug that is preventing
 it from testing what is intended.  The boost::exception_ptr object that is
 being used in boost::bind as part of the thread function does not have
 boost::ref() around it, so what is actually being passed to the thread
 invocation is a copy of the exception_ptr object.  This means that when
 the thread function set the exception_ptr, the information never makes its
 way to the outside world after the join.  A patch is attached to correct
 the problem.
