------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 boost/exception/errinfo_errno.hpp uses strerror function which is not
 thread-safe on many platforms (e.g. Linux). Its use should be replaced
 with strerror_r, when possible.

 As a hint for implementation see libs/system/src/error_code.cpp.
