#7750: iostreams & thread cancellation issue
-------------------------------------------+--------------------------------

     Type:  Bugs                           |      Status:  new      
Milestone:  To Be Determined               |   Component:  iostreams
  Version:  Boost Development Trunk        |    Severity:  Problem  
 Keywords:  iostreams pthreads exceptions  |  
-------------------------------------------+--------------------------------
 In NPTL thread cancellation is implemented using exceptions.
 The iostreams functions contains a catch-all clause which does not rethrow
 the exception. This is possible to expect but should really never happen
 in any code. The rules C++ experts developed state that catch-all cases
 must rethrow. If not then strange things can happen since one doesn't
 always know exactly what exceptions are thrown.

 Simple patch for sync functions attached.
